Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh, which has completed a tender for the "Supply of Edurant" tablets. This procurement falls under the health industry category and was initiated on 10 January 2018, with the contract being signed on the same day. The procurement method utilised was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, as the medicines are protected by patent.
