## Summary

This procurement falls within the health industry sector and is set in Edinburgh, UK, where it aims to create a framework agreement for the ready-to-use aseptically compounded medicines to be delivered to various NHS entities across Scotland. The procurement method is open, and key dates include a submission deadline of 28 October 2019, with the award decisions commencing from that date. This framework includes a total estimated value of £74,200,000, with the potential for a twelve-month extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the pharmaceutical and medical supplies sectors, particularly those experienced in aseptic compounding and quality management systems.
