## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of Romiplostim (NPlate®) to NHS Scotland was conducted by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). Located in Edinburgh, this central purchasing body has completed this contract under a limited procurement method without prior publication due to technical reasons related to the medication’s patent status. The contract, valued at GBP 5,610,178, was awarded to Amgen Ltd, and the agreement is active for a period spanning twenty-two months starting from 29th September 2025. The main industry category is health, and the geographical coverage includes entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for enterprises specialised in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, especially those with an interest in supplying patented or specialised medical products. While the procurement method was limited, primarily due to the specialised nature of the product and the existing market conditions, such contracts can pave the way for forming strategic partnerships with NHS Scotland and participating in future competitive tenders as the market landscape evolves. Companies with capabilities in innovative healthcare solutions would be particularly well-positioned to explore similar opportunities, potentially leveraging any changes in market dynamics for business growth.
