Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), involves the supply of Emicizumab, a pharmaceutical product, under the framework agreement titled "NP47725a Emicizumab (Indication Specific)." This contract is categorised under goods in the pharmaceutical products industry and involves locations throughout Scotland as specified under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, initiated as a tender process, and has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 27th August 2025. The procurement method was limited due to the exclusive nature of the rights associated with the supply of these specific medicines.

For businesses seeking growth opportunities, this contract demonstrates a substantial investment by NHS Scotland in specialised pharmaceutical products, indicating potential areas for business expansion within healthcare supply chains. While this specific contract was awarded to Roche Products Ltd due to technical reasons of exclusivity, similar opportunities might arise for other businesses that can offer exclusive or innovative products within the pharmaceutical industry. Large-scale suppliers that align with NHS Scotland's stringent requirements and can secure exclusive rights for their offerings could be well-positioned for similar future tenders, thereby enhancing their business growth in the public health sector.
