## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), headquartered in Edinburgh, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a CliniMACS Prodigy Cell Processor, essential for Tissues, Cells, and Advanced Therapeutics (TCAT). This procurement falls under the health industry category and was finalised with the contract being signed on 6th May 2025. The limited procurement method used was a direct award procedure without prior competition call, necessary to protect exclusive rights, and valued at £125,000. The contracting process was aimed at benefiting the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service at the Jack Copland Centre in the UKM75 region, with the process now in the award stage.

This tender opens growth opportunities particularly for businesses in the health sector that specialise in advanced medical and cell processing technology, similar to the awarded supplier, Adthera Bio Limited, a large-scale enterprise based in Birmingham. Firms focusing on providing specialised medical devices that meet Automated Medicinal Therapeutic Products (ATMP) standards might find similar opportunities in such procurement contracts. Companies that can provide exclusive or niche products in the healthcare industry, maintaining compliance with intellectual property rights, would be well-suited to engage with similar procurement projects initiated by large public health organisations like NHS National Services Scotland.
