They have awarded a tender titled "Tinzaparin (Innohep®)" for the supply of this medication to health boards across NHS Scotland. The tender process was categorised as limited, meaning it was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The relevant award was signed on 28th November 2017, marking the completion of the procurement stage for this goods category contract.
