THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS")

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency (commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland, "NSS"), seeking suppliers for Iron Isomaltoside (Diafer®) ampoules, primarily aimed at Health Boards throughout NHS Scotland. This procurement falls under the "goods" category and is currently in the Award stage. The tender was initiated on 5th October 2017, and the total duration encompasses 24 months, with possible extensions of 12 months each. The procurement method employed was limited, meaning it involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the patented nature of the medication being supplied.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for companies operating within the pharmaceutical sector or those specialising in health-related goods. Businesses that can provide patented medical supplies or have the capacity to meet the needs of NHS Scotland would find themselves well-positioned to compete. The established framework agreement indicates that there is potential for continued engagement, making this an attractive proposition for suppliers looking to expand their footprint within the health services market in Scotland.
