Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Hereditary Angioedema Branded Medicines (Orladeyo) has been completed under the auspices of The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh. This procurement was conducted under a framework agreement and was identified as contract NP48925a, focusing on the health industry category. The contract was awarded on 4th April 2025 to BioCryst UK Ltd, highlighting a targeted approach to supply critical medicines. The procurement was managed under a limited method, without prior publication due to the protection of exclusive rights, aligning with Regulation 33(1)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This was an award stage, with the process culminating in an active contract valued at approximately £1,582,400, covering entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of specialised pharmaceutical products, particularly those with exclusive medicinal formulations like berotralstat 150mg capsules. The tender could be particularly favourable for large-scale enterprises with the capability to meet high-volume demands and navigate the complexities of exclusive rights in pharmaceuticals. Companies positioned within the health sector and experienced in engaging with NHS Scotland will find this sector ripe for exploring further collaborative opportunities. As this process demonstrates the critical role of intellectual property rights, entities with a robust legal understanding and capabilities to protect proprietary medicinal products will be advantaged in similar tenders.
