## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland, seeking suppliers for the provision of Raltegravir (Isentress®) tablets. This procurement falls under the pharmaceutical products category and is located in the UK. The process is currently in the Award stage, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 17 February 2022, with a total value of approximately £2,523,285 for an initial period of 15 months, with a potential 12-month extension.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for pharmaceutical companies, particularly those specialised in the supply of patented medicines.
