## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is actively seeking tender submissions for the supply of Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents across NHS Scotland. The procurement falls under the health industry category, with a primary focus on goods, and is conducted through an open procedure. The tender process is currently in the active stage, with submissions accepted electronically until 1st September 2025, at 17:00 GMT. The estimated contract value stands at £8,550,215 GBP. Deliveries will be made to entities established under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 and Integrated Joint Boards per the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for suppliers with expertise in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those experienced in the distribution of medical stimulants. The framework seeks a single supplier per line, but up to four participants can be involved, allowing for competitive participation. Businesses that hold valid UK marketing authorisations for medicines and adhere to high-quality standards, such as BS EN ISO 9001, alongside an evident commitment to environmental sustainability, will be positioned well for this contract. The inclusion of community benefits further provides an avenue for suppliers to contribute positively to local initiatives, thus bolstering their presence and fostering growth within the Scottish public health sector.
