Summary of the contracting process

The process, aimed at supplying growth hormone to health boards across NHS Scotland, has been completed, with contracts awarded on 7 January 2025. The procurement, managed through an open procedure, has led to active contracts worth approximately £15.75 million for daily dose hormones and £451,000 for long-acting hormones delivered across entities constituted under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and Integrated Joint Boards across Scotland. Key contact for this procurement is Laura Ferguson, reachable via laura.ferguson7@nhs.scot at the Edinburgh office.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies proficient in pharmaceutical supply chains, particularly those specialising in hormone therapies. Large-scale enterprises such as Merck Serono Limited, Novo Nordisk Ltd, Pfizer Ltd, and Sandoz have been successful in securing contracts through this framework. Businesses that can ensure compliance with stringent quality and regulatory requirements, maintain robust environmental sustainability plans, and contribute positively to community benefits in Scotland will find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar NHS procurement exercises in the future.
