## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of Buprenorphine (Buvidal®), with Camurus AB as the awarded supplier. The procurement, under the legal framework of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, falls within the pharmaceutical products industry and involves a framework agreement with a projected value of £13,247,143.28. The framework, designed for a 36-month duration with the possibility of a 12-month extension, is geographically aimed at serving all entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 in the UKM region. Key dates include the contract signing on 29 April 2025, completing the procurement stage.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those with the capacity to fulfil large-scale supply agreements within the UK healthcare system. Although the procurement method was limited due to the exclusive rights associated with the product, businesses with similar niche pharmaceutical offerings could find valuable opportunities by aligning with public health service demands. The tender process showcases potential growth areas for large-scale suppliers with secure intellectual property rights in pharmaceuticals.
