Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "TCAT – CliniMACS Prodigy" was awarded by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland. This procurement, situated within the health sector and primarily involving the purchase of medical equipment, took place in Edinburgh, UKM region. The award was completed on 8th July 2025. The procurement process followed a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to the technical exclusivity of the product needed for existing equipment resilience and new product development. The contract, valued at £100,000, was signed with Adthera Bio Limited, a large-scale supplier from Birmingham.

This procurement provides a focused opportunity for businesses specialising in highly technical and exclusive medical equipment. Companies adept at cutting-edge health technologies could find competitive advantages in such specialised tenders, particularly those capable of delivering unique solutions that meet critical operational needs. While this particular contract had a sole supplier due to its specialised requirements, similar future procurements could favour businesses that demonstrate a strong alignment with stringent health sector needs and innovation in medical technology solutions. This opportunity highlights the importance of technical expertise and specialisation for businesses aiming to expand in the public health procurement market.
