## Summary

The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) has awarded a contract for albumin products under the Framework Agreement. This procurement falls under the goods category, with a duration of 26 months initially and a subsequent 22-month extension. The contracting process began with a tender and reached the award stage on 12th January 2023. The procurement is relevant to businesses supplying blood products and plasma extracts, particularly for entities within NHS Scotland.

This contract award presents a growth opportunity for large-scale suppliers such as CSL Behring, Bio Products Laboratory, Octapharma Ltd, and Grifols UK Ltd. The procurement aims to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector, necessitating supply maintenance due to unforeseen circumstances related to the Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access. However, economic operators should note that any loss or damage must be pursued through legal channels according to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with proceedings typically heard in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
