## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for the supply of Ixekizumab (Taltz®), a healthcare product, with an estimated contract value of £2,943,000. This procurement, classified under the health industry category, utilised a limited procurement method, which involves awarding a contract without prior publication of a call for competition due to the patent protection of the drug. The award was signed on 27th April 2021, and the contract duration includes a twelve-month period with a potential twelve-month extension, covering entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 in various locations across Scotland, particularly Edinburgh.

This tender creates opportunities for large pharmaceutical and healthcare companies that manufacture or supply patented drugs. Businesses well-suited to compete would include those with the capacity to supply Ixekizumab or similar pharmaceutical products, especially firms familiar with the regulatory landscape of the NHS. As NSS serves a critical role within the public health sector, securing contracts through this procurement process can significantly bolster the market presence and growth potential for suppliers in the healthcare sector.
