## Summary

The NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) has completed a procurement process under a framework agreement for the supply of pharmaceutical products, specifically Trastuzumab and Rituximab Subcut, aimed at servicing NHS Scotland. The procurement falls within the goods category under the industry classification of pharmaceutical products. NHS National Services Scotland, located in Edinburgh, is the buying organisation for this contract. The framework agreement, scheduled to last nine months with possible extensions, utilises a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, as stipulated under exclusive rights protected by intellectual property. Roche Products Ltd has been awarded the contract, reflected in both of the active awards dated 4th November 2025, with a substantial contract value of over £20 million GBP. This contract is active within the UK region and adheres to the GPA policies.

The procurement of Trastuzumab and Rituximab Subcut presents significant business growth opportunities for pharmaceutical manufacturers, particularly those with specialised capabilities in producing subcutaneous formulations of these medications. Given its exclusive rights nature, this tender is particularly suited for large-scale pharmaceutical companies with existing intellectual property or licensing agreements. Businesses capable of fulfilling large-scale and highly specialised medical supply needs while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements under NHS protocols will find such frameworks advantageous. Suppliers must demonstrate robust quality standards, delivery competencies within the UKM region, and an understanding of NHS operational structures, positioning healthcare-focused firms strongly in competing for future procurement processes.
