Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Supply of Myozyme®" is conducted by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), located in Edinburgh, UK. This contract, which falls under the health industry category, pertains to the supply of Alglucosidase Alfa 50mg Powder for Solution for Infusion to NHS Scotland. The procurement method used is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the ongoing patent protection and lack of generic competition. The award for this contract was finalised on 7th August 2019, with a total contract value of £8,461,300 for a framework that can extend for up to 27 months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the pharmaceutical sector capable of supplying complex medical products. Companies that specialise in the production of rare and specialised medicines, especially those with advanced manufacturing capabilities, will find this procurement process suitable for competition. The exclusivity of the contract, given its limited invitation and the technical challenges in replicating the product, allows well-equipped businesses to potentially capture substantial market share within the NHS. Furthermore, engagement with NHS Scotland can foster long-term partnerships and enhance credibility in the healthcare supply chain.
