Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which has completed a tender for the supply of Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®). This award is classified under the goods category, specifically within the health industry, and is relevant to health boards across NHS Scotland. The procurement method was limited, allowing for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, with a total value of £2,363,714, was signed on 26th November 2020, with a framework agreement that has an initial duration of 26 months and options to extend for 22 months. The delivery locations include all entities established pursuant to the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, particularly those with capabilities in drug supply and distribution. Companies that specialise in the production or provision of patented medicines would find this contract particularly relevant due to the exclusive rights associated with Rivaroxaban's supply. The award to Bayer Plc, a large scale supplier, suggests that established pharmaceutical companies are preferred, but there may still be opportunities for smaller businesses with innovative solutions or products that align with the NHS's needs throughout Scotland.
