Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has concluded a procurement process for the supply of Enzyme Replacement Therapy Medicines to NHS Scotland. This contract, categorised under the health industry, involves the provision of various enzyme replacement products such as Aldurazyme®, Cerezyme®, Fabrazyme®, and Myozyme®. The award stage was completed with a contract signed on July 18, 2024, and the procurement was performed using a limited method due to the protection of exclusive intellectual property rights. The medicines will be supplied by Aventis Pharma Ltd Trading as Sanofi and the contract has an estimated value of £12,437,853. The delivery will cover all entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, primarily in the UKM region.

This procurement provides a significant business growth opportunity for pharmaceutical companies and suppliers who specialise in rare or specialized medical treatments. While this particular tender was awarded without a competitive call for competition due to intellectual property rights, similar future opportunities could be pursued by businesses holding exclusive rights to innovative health solutions. Large-scale suppliers with niche pharmaceutical products, robust supply chain capabilities, and the ability to meet stringent regulatory requirements would be well-positioned to compete in such high-value procurement contracts.
