OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland, is buying fertility medicines for NHS Scotland. The medicines will be supplied to all organisations constituted under the NHS (Scotland) Act 1978 and to Integrated Joint Boards established under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014, covering Scotland. This is a goods requirement, classified under CPV 33600000 for pharmaceutical products. It is divided into two framework lots: one for a single supplier for each product line across a range of fertility medicines, and one for an unranked framework with up to three suppliers per product line. The procurement also covers associated medical devices and ancillaries where relevant, with electronic ordering and payment arrangements.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 14 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with award activity scheduled to start at that time. The framework duration is 48 months, or 1,440 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days. The estimated total value is £6,379,692: £4,549,550 for the single-supplier lot and £1,830,142 for the multi-supplier lot. Suppliers may bid for both lots. Evaluation is weighted 95% price and 5% quality, with logistics forming the quality element. Variants are not allowed. A framework agreement, subcontracting clause and community-benefit requirements apply.

This opportunity suits pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist medicines suppliers able to provide a broad range of fertility products reliably to NHS Scotland. Bidders need a valid, current UK Marketing Authorisation approved by the MHRA for every medicine tendered, using an applicable PL, PLGB or PLPI number. Suppliers and their subcontractors must hold BS EN ISO 9001 certification or an equivalent quality standard. Products must meet MHRA best-practice and National Patient Safety Agency requirements for packaging and labelling. Any tendered medical devices and ancillaries must comply with UK Medical Devices Regulations and carry the appropriate conformity declaration and CE, CE UKNI or UKCA marking. Bidders must also provide a climate-change plan and support community-benefit delivery in Scotland.
