Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is seeking suppliers for the "Supply of Descovy" tablets, an essential procurement in the health sector. This tender is currently at the Award stage and was signed on 28 November 2017. The delivery is intended for all entities governed under the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978, within the Edinburgh region (EH12 9EB). NSS is employing a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the patent protection of the medicines involved.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for pharmaceutical companies, especially those specialising in innovative treatments or generic medications that might fit the specifications of the Descovy tablets. Businesses capable of meeting stringent health regulatory requirements and possessing the necessary infrastructure for supply within Scotland would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With a framework agreement in place allowing for extensions, there is potential for sustained business development with NSS, fostering long-term partnerships in the health industry.
