Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process is managed by the Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh. The procurement, titled "Supply of Replagal®," pertains to the supply of Agalsidase Alfa solution for infusion, classified under the health industry. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract value set at £6,372,500. The contract was signed on 24th June 2019, and the duration includes an initial period of 21 months, with the possibility of extending for an additional 27 months.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, particularly those with expertise in rare diseases and biotechnology. Businesses that can supply high-quality, patent-protected medications like Replagal® are well-suited to compete. The unique nature of the supply agreement, which required a limited procurement method due to the absence of generic competition, indicates a lucrative and stable market for potential suppliers interested in collaborating with NHS Scotland.
