Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is seeking suppliers for the supply of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Xeomin®). This procurement falls within the health sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. Currently in the award stage, the contract was formally signed on 12th September 2019 for a total value of £2,157,000. The procurement was initiated via a limited method, which did not include a prior call for competition due to the unique nature of the product.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare products, particularly SMEs that can supply biologics. Suppliers with expertise in manufacturing or distributing medical supplies, especially those with experience in handling innovative medications like Xeomin®, would find this procurement advantageous. Given the limited competition in the market for this type of biologic medicine, there is a potential for growth and long-term partnerships with public health entities in Scotland.
