Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the supply of Emicizumab, intended specifically for certain medical indications, under the procurement ID SEP539510. The initiative is overseen from their Edinburgh office. This procurement falls within the health industry category, focusing on goods, specifically pharmaceutical products. The procurement method employed was limited, opting for an award procedure without prior competitive tendering, primarily due to the absence of competition for some medicines, as supported by the relevant public contracts regulations. The contract was signed on 27 August 2025, with Roche Products Ltd being the awarded supplier, headquartered in Welwyn Garden City, UK. The framework encompasses all entities constituted under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and relevant Integrated Joint Boards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those specialising in patented or exclusive medicines that meet specific medical needs. Given its nature as a single-supplier framework agreement valued at approximately £3.12 million, large pharmaceutical companies with a portfolio of protected products, like Roche, are well-suited to leverage such tenders to expand their market within NHS Scotland. Delivering on such contracts not only offers economic benefits but also helps in establishing long-term credibility and partnerships within the healthcare sector.
