## Summary

The procurement process is led by The Common Services Agency, commonly referred to as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Albumin Products, classified under the health industry. This tender, initiated under an open procedure, includes two lots: Lot 1 for Human Albumin Solution (Low strength) and Lot 2 for Human Albumin Solution (High strength), with respective delivery to the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service in Edinburgh. The tender was active as of 31st October 2018, following an award period that commenced on this date. The framework agreement is set for an initial duration of 26 months, with potential extensions available.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide high-quality albumin solutions. Interested suppliers should possess the necessary certifications and marketing authorisations and demonstrate strong supply security and competitive pricing, as the bid evaluation criteria will weigh heavily on these factors. With multiple supplies likely being engaged through a ranked multi-supplier framework, this is an excellent chance for suppliers to establish ongoing contracts with a major public health authority.
