Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is seeking suppliers for the framework contract titled "Enoxaparin Sodium," aimed at providing various presentations of this anticoagulant to health boards across NHS Scotland. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having reached completion on 27th November 2019. The estimated value of the contract is approximately £5,709,000, and this opportunity falls under the Health industry category, with all deliveries required to address the needs of entities governed by the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978. The competitive process was conducted using an open procedure, making it accessible to a wide range of bidders.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses within the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those specialising in biopharmaceutical products and medical supplies. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with UK Marketing Authorisations and have the necessary quality assurance certifications, such as ISO 9001, will be well-positioned to bid. The inclusion of both SMEs and larger enterprises, as indicated by past bid statistics—where two of the three bids received were from SMEs—suggests a competitive environment where smaller entities can successfully engage in public procurement alongside larger firms.
