## Summary

The procurement process entitled "TCAT – Maple Project" involves NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) as the buying organisation. This tender falls under the health industry category and is located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The framework services agreement aims to develop a cell therapy treatment for a chronic autoimmune condition. The procurement method used is limited, owing to technical reasons where the required equipment can be supplied only by a particular supplier—Infors HT. The contract was signed on 22 May 2025 and is valued at £107,000 GBP. It is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and falls outside the scope of application of the directive.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in medical equipment or cell therapy treatments, particularly those with unique technical capabilities. It is well-suited to large-scale businesses that possess, or can develop, the critical equipment necessary for the advancement of NHS's therapeutic projects. Due to the limited competition in this procurement process, businesses with innovative solutions or specialised equipment may find advantageous positioning. This tender could potentially open pathways to longer-term collaborations with NHS, enhancing business presence in the health sector.
