## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland, is conducting a tender process for "Psychiatry Generic Medicines" as part of an open procurement method. This framework agreement spans the supply of various psychiatric medications divided into seven distinct categories, each referred to as a "Lot". The submission deadline is set for 21st June 2021, with awards anticipated shortly thereafter. The total contract value is approximately £14,920,581 and addresses health boards across NHS Scotland, ensuring effective procurement across the healthcare sector.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those specialising in generic medicines. Companies capable of supplying prescribed psychiatric medications, compliance with UK Marketing Authorisation, and certifications such as ISO 9001 would be well-positioned to compete. The framework agreement allows for multiple suppliers per lot, thereby increasing the chances for participation of both large manufacturers and niche suppliers in the pharmaceutical space.
