Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Imiglucerase 400iu Powder for Reconstitution, branded as Cerezyme®. This contract falls within the health industry category and is based in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method was limited, with an award procedure conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the unique technical nature of the supply. This tender has reached the Award stage, with a contract signed on 7th August 2019, valued at £3,105,500, indicating a significant commitment to securing essential health supplies for the NHS in Scotland.

This tender represents a strong opportunity for businesses involved in pharmaceutical supply, particularly those capable of fulfilling the specific technical and logistical requirements for medicinal products under patent protection. Companies engaged in the production or distribution of specialised health products, such as large pharmaceutical manufacturers or suppliers with a proven track record in NHS contracts, would be well-suited to compete in this space. The exclusive nature of this procurement and the absence of generic competition creates an advantageous marketplace for suppliers who can demonstrate capability and compliance with NHS standards.
