Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Dysport®) to NHS Scotland. This contract, valued at approximately £1,169,300, was signed on 1st October 2019. The procurement method employed was "limited," specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique technical characteristics of the product. The delivery locations include various entities constituted under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, primarily within the Edinburgh region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in the healthcare supply chain, biotechnology, or pharmaceuticals. Given the highly specialised nature of the product, firms with expertise in biologic medicines, especially those dealing with unique formulations such as Dysport®, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders. The procurement structure, which includes provisions for an initial thirty-six-month duration with the option to extend, offers a stable contract period that can contribute to business growth and sustainability for suppliers in the health sector.
