## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of Gallium-68 generators to be used within NHS Scotland with PET/CT. The procurement, which falls under the goods category in the health industry, was initiated via an open tender method and involved a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 18 March 2019, with the resultant contract awarded to Curium Pharma UK Ltd and Imaging Equipment Limited, valued at £1,056,000. The framework will support imaging services across multiple health boards in Scotland, including Lothian and Greater Glasgow & Clyde.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare supply chain, particularly those specialising in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. The requirements for high-quality Gallium-68 generators that comply with European Pharmacopoeia standards mean that suppliers with expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing and regulatory compliance would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in healthcare provisions may find this an advantageous contract to expand their market reach within the NHS framework.
