## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the supply of Romiplostim (Nplate®) to NHS Scotland, orchestrated by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). This contract falls under the pharmaceutical products industry category. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method and was negotiated without prior publication of a contract notice due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, resulting from a Loss of Exclusivity on the patented medication. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract status being active as of 29th September 2025, and involves delivery across entities constituted under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act of 1978. The contract's total value amounts to £5,610,178 for a 22-month agreement period, signifying a crucial acquisition for NSS to ensure the continued supply of necessary medications.

This tender offers distinct opportunities for large pharmaceutical companies capable of supplying patented medications with unique expertise, like Amgen Ltd, the award winner in this case. The procurement process highlights the importance of having the capacity to supply specialised pharmaceutical products and navigating patent landscapes in highly regulated markets. It presents growth potential for businesses with strong research and development capabilities to develop or supply patented medicines, and those who can demonstrate unique technical offerings aligned with NHS Scotland’s procurement needs. Such tenders underscore the importance of strategic positioning in niche markets, targeting high-value, low-competition opportunities.
