## Summary

The Common Services Agency, widely referred to as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), has completed a tender for the "TCAT - Liver Ductal Project," to develop a liver ductal ATMP (hBEC) product. Located in Edinburgh, the buying organisation operates within the health sector. This procurement process utilised a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to technical absence of competition, and falls under the category of services based on CPV classification 73100000. The contract was signed with several suppliers, including BioLegend and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Ltd, on 4th June 2026, and is valued at £117,846. The process adhered to GPA standards and was necessitated by Regulation 33 (1) b.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced therapy medicinal products, particularly those with technical capabilities in creating liver-related ATMPs. Companies with expertise in health sector services, especially in biotechnological innovations, would be well-suited for such projects. Engaging in tenders like this can provide an avenue for both large enterprises and SMEs to expand their market presence and form valuable partnerships with public bodies like PSD Scotland. The collaboration with multiple suppliers highlights the potential for diversifying service offerings and leveraging technical expertise in a competitive landscape.
