## Summary

The procurement process involved the NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and focuses on the supply of Romiplostim (NPlate®) for NHS Scotland. This tender, with an award value of £8,772,882, was completed as of 30 July 2021. The procurement method adopted was a limited procedure, allowing for the awarding of a framework agreement without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the patent protection of the medicine. The delivery location includes various entities governed by the NHS legislation in Scotland, and the contracting authority is based at Gyle Square in Edinburgh.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for large pharmaceutical companies, particularly those specialising in biotechnology and patented products. Given the exclusive nature of the contract, businesses with experience in providing health-related goods, especially those with capabilities in delivering innovative therapies, would be well-positioned to engage in future tenders of a similar nature. Companies that align with the procurement requirements and possess the necessary expertise in the healthcare supply chain could significantly benefit from participation in such opportunities.
