## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of Isentress tablets to NHS Scotland is managed by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland, based in Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the health industry category and has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 10 January 2018. The procurement method used is a limited procedure that does not involve prior publication of a call for competition, due to the patents protecting these medicines. The contract, part of a framework agreement, is active and has a total value covering a full four-year duration.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies, particularly those dealing with patented medications. Companies capable of providing the required Isentress tablets are encouraged to engage with this framework, as it aligns with the needs of all entities established under the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978. The limited procurement method indicates a niche market which may favour specialised providers with the capacity to meet stringent health sector regulations. Businesses that are well-versed in tendering processes and can navigate the healthcare regulatory landscape will find this an advantageous opportunity for growth.
