Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of hereditary angioedema branded medicines, specifically Cinryze and Takhzyro, to NHS Scotland. Takeda UK Limited was awarded the contract through a limited procurement method, justified by the absence of competition due to exclusive rights. The procurement, which falls under the health industry category, has resulted in a framework agreement worth approximately £9.46 million. The contract was signed on 4th April 2025 and is active, covering the provision across NHS Scotland regions as per the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and related regulations.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for pharmaceutical companies specializing in rare disease treatments or those with existing intellectual property in the health sector. Companies with a strong portfolio in medicine manufacturing and those capable of securing exclusive rights are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Such collaborations with NHS Scotland not only offer substantial financial benefits but also enhance a company’s reputation by association with prestigious public health service organisations.
