## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is seeking suppliers for the supply of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Xeomin®). This procurement falls within the health sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. Currently in the award stage, the contract was formally signed on 12th September 2019 for a total value of £2,157,000. The procurement was initiated via a limited method, which did not include a prior call for competition due to the unique nature of the product.
