## Summary

The recent procurement process, initiated by The Common Services Agency (commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland), focuses on the supply of a combination pharmaceutical product, Emtricitabine / Rilpivirine / Tenofovir Disoproxil (Eviplera®). This procurement, classified under the pharmaceutical products category, is located in the UK and is currently at the award stage, with the contract signed on 17 February 2022, and a timeline initial period of 24 months along with a possible 24-month extension. The procurement method used was limited, specifically through an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, which implies strict supplier selection criteria due to the unique nature of the products involved.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, especially those specialising in patented medications or similar products. Companies that can provide equivalent pharmaceutical goods or have the capabilities to meet NHS Scotland's specific needs will find this contract particularly suitable. As the process involved only one bid from Gilead Sciences Ltd, there may be potential for other suppliers to engage with the NHS in future contracts, ongoing innovation in pharmaceutical offerings, and participation in similar procurement exercises, contributing to their business growth.
