Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a procurement for the supply of Symtuza® tablets. This procurement falls within the healthcare industry and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement process was initiated through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the protected patent rights of the medicines involved. The contract was signed on 5 June 2018, and the framework agreement covers a duration of 44 months, enabling the delivery of goods to various entities under the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies specialising in patented drugs, particularly those focusing on therapeutic treatments related to HIV. Businesses with prior experience in supplying medicines to public health authorities and a strong understanding of the regulatory landscape in Scotland would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders with similar specifications. The awarded framework agreement enables continued engagement with NHSScotland, making it crucial for interested suppliers to align with the needs and standards of this prestigious buyer.
