## Summary

The procurement process was managed by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of hereditary angioedema branded medicines (Berinert) to NHS Scotland. The procurement fell under the health industry category and involved the supply of C1-esterase inhibitor human powder for solution for injection vials. This contract, awarded without prior competition due to technical reasons, was for a framework agreement with a duration of 24 months, extendable by another 24 months, and was valued at £4,733,292. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with the contract having been signed on 4th April 2025. The delivery location covers all entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and any Integrated Joint Boards in Scotland.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies, particularly those capable of providing innovative solutions and rare therapeutic products like hereditary angioedema treatments. Large-scale suppliers or those operating in technically specialised markets, such as CSL Behring, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities due to the technical nature of requirements. The framework agreement encourages the growth and collaboration of businesses capable of meeting specific public health demands in the Scottish healthcare market, thereby providing a stable source of revenue and long-term partnership with a major public sector buyer like NSS.
