## Summary

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), awarded a contract for the supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy Products. The tender focused on providing gum, patches, and lozenges to all entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and any Integrated Joint Boards under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014. The procurement process, initiated as a tender and completed as of 26 November 2024, involved a limited award procedure due to unforeseen circumstances related to the Covid-19 pandemic. NHS NSS, headquartered in Edinburgh, oversaw this procurement within the health category, culminating in contracts signed in late November 2024 for each lot's specific supply requirements throughout Scotland.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in pharmaceuticals, specifically those producing nicotine replacement therapy products. Large and established suppliers, such as Haleon PLC, who secured the contract for all three product lots, can take advantage of this consistency to strengthen their market position within the healthcare sector. Businesses capable of managing stringent supply chain demands and adhering to regulatory standards would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts, benefiting from the robust and continuous demand for healthcare products within the Scottish public health system.
