THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS")

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is conducting a procurement process for the supply of Leuprorelin (Prostap®), specifically the 3.75mg and 11.25mg powders and solvents for suspension for injection. This procurement falls under the health industry category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method used is a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, largely due to the lack of generic competition in the market since the patent for Prostap® has expired. The contract was awarded on 28th October 2019, with a total value of £1,588,586, and is linked to entities established under NHS Scotland legislation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for medium to large pharmaceutical companies capable of supplying specialised medical products. Businesses experienced in sterile pharmaceutical preparations and with the capacity to navigate the regulatory landscape of healthcare supplies would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. Given the unique manufacturing processes required for Leuprorelin, suppliers that can demonstrate technical expertise may find a favourable position to grow their business through partnerships with NHS Scotland.
