## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a public procurement process for the supply of Hepatitis A, B, Typhoid and Rabies vaccines. This procurement, under contract ID 050711-2025, was executed through an open procedure aimed at setting up a framework agreement for pharmaceutical products. The contract has been awarded to GlaxoSmithKline and Merck Sharp & Dohme UK Ltd and involves the supply of vaccines to NHS Scotland as outlined under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement, initially initiated on 2nd May 2025, aimed to encourage participants to contribute to community benefits in addition to delivering on the main requirements. The key milestone includes signing the contract on 15th July 2025, with an overall contract value of approximately GBP 3.4 million. The contract was observed to include electronic submission and invoicing policies, illustrating modern procurement practices.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of pharmaceutical products to collaborate with NHS Scotland, potentially increasing their market presence and establishing long-term partnerships within the healthcare sector. The focus on pharmaceuticals implies that businesses with a strong background in logistics, pricing efficiency, and community engagement are particularly well-positioned to benefit. Moreover, companies with expertise in MHRA compliance and a proactive approach towards environmental sustainability and ISO 9001 certification will find this framework agreement a strong avenue for growth. The inclusion of community benefit clauses further prompts businesses to not only fulfil contractual obligations but also partake in value-driven engagement, enhancing corporate reputation and local community ties.
