## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is behind the TCAT – Maple Project, which falls within the Health industry category and involves the development of a cell therapy for chronic autoimmune conditions. This procurement process has concluded, as indicated by the award and contract tags on June 2, 2025, with activities primarily located in the region UKM. The initiative utilises a limited procurement method, which bypasses a prior call for competition due to technical reasons specified under Regulation 33, making it necessary to utilise specific equipment critical for resilience in current systems and product development.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in health sector innovations, particularly those with expertise in cell therapy or autoimmune treatment technologies. Redberry SAS, a large-scale entity, has been awarded the contract for £120,000, highlighting the potential for substantive business development for firms with technical capabilities to supply specialised medical equipment and services. Companies with expertise in providing unique health solutions and products that address specific technical needs may find similar opportunities in future procurements by NHS National Services Scotland.
