Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland), aims to supply ambrisentan tablets to NHS Scotland. The tender is categorised under the health industry and is currently in the Award stage, having been signed on 22nd September 2020, with a reported contract value of £235,496. The contract will deliver goods primarily through homecare channels and covers a range of NHS entities in Edinburgh, UK (postal code EH12 9EB). The open tendering procedure allowed for electronic submissions, with no bids from SMEs or foreign entities recorded during the process.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the pharmaceutical and medical supply sectors to expand their reach within the NHS framework. Companies already experienced in supplying regulated pharmaceutical products, particularly those with a valid UK Marketing Authorisation or EMA Marketing Authorisation certified by the MHRA, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The framework agreement is set to run for thirty months, with the possibility of an eighteen-month extension, providing sustained business prospects for successful bidders.
