## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has recently awarded a contract for the supply of Romiplostim (NPlate®) under a limited tender process. This procurement falls under the pharmaceutical products category and concerns the delivery of goods to various NHS Scotland entities. The award is part of a framework agreement, with the contract valued at £8,772,882, signed on 30th July 2021. It is notable that the procurement process was completed without prior publication of a call for competition due to the medicine being protected by patent rights.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those that specialise in patented medical products. Companies capable of supplying innovative healthcare solutions or pharmaceuticals may find this a suitable opportunity to enhance their market presence. As the contract is exclusively awarded to Amgen Ltd, potential competitors should consider the implications of similar framework agreements and strategise their offerings to align with the needs of NHS Scotland in future procurements.
