## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is based in Edinburgh, UK. The tender titled "Supply of Elaprase®" pertains to the health sector, specifically focusing on the supply of Idursulfase concentrate for intravenous infusion. The procurement method used was limited, indicating an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, aimed at securing the unique product due to manufacturing complexities. The award contract was signed on 7th August 2019, and the contract value is £3,852,400. The procurement is currently in the contract stage.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply sectors. Companies that specialise in the production and distribution of medical supplies, particularly those with capabilities in handling specialised pharmaceutical products, would be well-positioned to compete. The procurement has been designed to create efficient supply solutions for NHS Scotland, potentially benefitting large-scale pharmaceutical firms like Shire Pharmaceuticals Limited, which was awarded the contract.
