Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is based in Edinburgh, UK. The tender, titled "Supply of Kaletra," focuses on delivering Kaletra tablets and oral suspension to NHS Scotland. This procurement has recently been completed, with the contract awarded on 10th January 2018. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, which did not require prior publication of a call for competition. The total duration of the awarded framework agreement spans over forty-eight months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on pharmaceutical supplies, particularly those capable of delivering patented medicines like Kaletra. Given the limited competition due to patent protections, companies with expertise in health-related products or those who can meet the specific requirements set by the NHS would be well positioned to engage in similar tenders. Businesses interested in expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector may find this an advantageous area to explore, especially those ready to participate in longer-term agreements with public health bodies.
