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 Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of Rezolsta tablets, specifically aimed at NHSScotland. This process took place in the health industry sector, mainly covering locations within Scotland. The framework agreement, signed on 10 January 2018, followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique protection of patented medicines. The procurement classification was centred on goods, with key details including the complete status of the tender and a specific delivery location stipulated for all entities under the National Health Services (Scotland) Act.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for pharmaceutical companies that can provide Rezolsta or similar health-related goods. Businesses with capabilities in the healthcare supply chain, especially those familiar with the public procurement frameworks in the health sector, would be well-suited to compete. With NHS Scotland's ongoing demand for protected medicines, suppliers well-versed in pharmaceutical distribution or those offering innovative healthcare solutions may find advantageous positions in future tenders.
