Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly referred to as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of Triptorelin (Gonapeptyl®), specifically 3.75mg powder and solvent for injection pre-filled syringes. This tender is classified under the health industry and was based in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method was limited, conducting an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique technical characteristics of the product. The contract was awarded to Ferring Pharmaceuticals Limited on 28 October 2019, with a signed value of £10,914.76 and a duration of up to 24 months, including potential extensions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chains, particularly those specialising in injectable medications or complex manufacturing processes. Given the absence of generic competition for Triptorelin due to specific technical complexities, suppliers with expertise in pharmaceutical production and a solid understanding of NHS procurement processes may find advantageous opportunities to bid for future contracts. Companies capable of meeting the rigorous quality and regulatory standards of NHS Scotland will be particularly well-suited to engage with similar tenders.
