## Summary

The Common Services Agency (commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) is conducting a procurement process for the supply of Ixekizumab (Taltz®), a pharmaceutical product classified under CPV code 33600000. Located in Edinburgh, this process is currently in the Award stage, with the contracts awarded as of April 27, 2021, and the total contract value estimated at £2,943,000. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure, which was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, given the exclusivity of the drug’s patent protection. The contract is intended for delivery to NHS entities in Scotland, beginning from May 17, 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those that specialise in producing or supplying patented drugs. Companies with experience in the healthcare industry, especially those that can demonstrate capability in handling specialised pharmaceutical contracts or who hold exclusive distribution rights, would be well-positioned to compete. With the contract period extending over twelve months, there is ample time for suppliers to explore this avenue for growth and expand their partnerships within the NHS framework.
