## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is conducting a tender for the supply of VZIG Varicella-Zoster immunoglobulin intramuscular use (IM) to health boards across Scotland. This procurement falls under the goods category within the pharmaceutical products industry, with an active contract value of £569,100 over an initial 36-month framework agreement. The tender was initiated on 19 January 2021, and it employs a limited procurement method, meaning there was no prior public call for competition due to technical reasons preventing a wider competitive process.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies, particularly those with the capacity to provide immunoglobulin products. Companies experienced in navigating public sector tenders and those with a strong manufacturing background are likely to be well-suited to compete effectively. Given the specific nature of the required products and the absence of competition in the market, this tender represents a niche opportunity for suppliers capable of meeting the technical criteria outlined by NHS National Services Scotland.
