Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has awarded a framework agreement for the supply of Cladribine (Mavenclad®) as part of a limited procurement process. This contract, which is classified under the health sector, is located in Edinburgh, UK, and was signed on 22nd November 2021. The procurement aimed to address the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic, with a total contract value of £2,827,468. This award represents the completion of the tender process, which did not involve prior publication of a call for competition due to the urgent need for supply management.

Suppliers with experience in delivering to the public healthcare sector, especially those who can meet urgent demands and comply with NHS standards, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Companies like Merck Serono that are accustomed to large-scale supply operations would also find potential growth opportunities as the health sector continues to evolve and respond to ongoing challenges.
