Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, more widely known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the public procurement process for the supply of Cytokine Modulators. This tender falls within the health industry category and covers all entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, incorporating any Integrated Joint Boards from the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014. Located primarily in the UK region of Scotland (UKM), the process moved to the Award stage as of 19th March 2025, following completion of the tender period that ended on 2nd December 2024. The procurement method used was an open procedure, focusing on procuring goods through multiple frameworks with specific lots such as Etanercept, Infliximab IV and SC, and various concentrations of Methotrexate pens and syringes.
