## Summary

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for supplying clozapine medicines, with associated patient testing routes, under the title NP31424 Clozapine Medicines. This procurement targets the pharmaceutical products industry category and covers locations within the UKM region. The process was conducted using an open procurement method, culminating in the award stage on 4th October 2024. The framework agreement spans a thirty-six-month duration with a potential twenty-four-month extension, focusing on core and non-core clozapine products delivered through various patient testing routes.

For businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, this tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for those specialising in psychiatric medication. Companies that can offer high-quality technical services, such as central and local laboratory testing, near patient testing, and educational support materials, are well-suited to compete. The awarded contracts, particularly for clozapine tablets both in core supply and near patient testing, will be valuable for suppliers looking to expand their presence in the NHS supply chain. Successful companies, like Viatris UK Healthcare Ltd, exemplify how businesses can leverage such contracts to enhance their market footprint and drive innovation in patient care services.
