Summary of the contracting process

The recently concluded procurement process by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), pertains to the supply of Triptorelin (Decapeptyl®), a pharmaceutical product. This tender falls under the category of goods within the pharmaceutical industry, and the procurement was executed as a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice due to technical reasons. The contract, valued at £1,553,548, was awarded to Ipsen Ltd, and is intended to support entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement process was marked by its completion on 5th November 2025, with delivery aimed at the region of UKM, covering all pertinent NHS bodies in Scotland.

This tender, being a single supplier framework, offers critical opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical products, particularly those capable of providing specialised compounds like Triptorelin (Decapeptyl®). Given the absence of market competition expected in the UK for this product during the initial duration of the framework, companies with niche expertise or technical capacity in this area have the potential for significant business growth. Large-scale pharmaceutical companies, especially those similar in profile to Ipsen Ltd, would find this tender particularly aligning with their capabilities due to the nature of the supply and the strategic importance of partnering with a public health entity such as NHS Scotland.
