## Summary

The NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) has finalised a procurement process for the supply of Tetanus immunoglobulin intramuscular use (IM) aimed at servicing the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service in Edinburgh and other locations upon request. This contract is part of a Framework Agreement that covers a twenty-four-month period with a potential twenty-four-month extension. Categorised under pharmaceutical products, this procurement sought goods through a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The award was made in April 2025, with a contract value of approximately £753,136, reflecting a commitment to a single supplier, Bio Products Laboratory, located in Hertfordshire.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those capable of supplying niche medical goods. Given the technical specificity of Tetanus immunoglobulin production, the contract was awarded without prior competition due to the lack of viable alternative suppliers. This scenario underscores the potential for specialised pharmaceutical companies to increase market presence by offering unique products that are challenging to replicate. Large-scale enterprises with expertise in producing highly specialised healthcare products may find similar opportunities by closely monitoring sectors where legislative or technical barriers limit competition.
