Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is procuring the supply of Trastuzumab and Rituximab Subcut for NHS Scotland, under a process initiated as a tender. The procurement falls within the health industry category and is based in the UK, particularly for all entities governed by the NHS Scotland Act 1978. The procurement method employed does not involve prior publication of a call for competition due to intellectual property rights protection. The tender concluded with an award to Roche Products Ltd, valued at £20,957,710, and spans a ten-month duration with potential extensions. The award date was 4 November 2025, with a contract commencement following suit, under the procurement stage of 'Award'.

This procurement of medicinal goods, specifically the Trastuzumab and Rituximab Subcut, offers opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceuticals with exclusive rights and a capability to supply on a large scale. Companies with existing frameworks for intellectual property-sensitive products are ideally positioned to leverage such contracts, particularly given the 'limited' procurement method allowing for streamlined access. With NSS consistently involved in large-scale procurement processes, entities with expertise in the healthcare sector can explore potential partnerships and contribute to anticipated growth avenues. The contract not only highlights potential for expansion but also assures continuity through well-structured extensions, bolstering business growth for qualified pharmaceutical companies, especially those seeking extensive engagement within public health frameworks.
