## Summary

The procurement process involves a contract awarded by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Rilpivirine 25mg tablets (Edurant®) aimed at entities within the National Health Service in Scotland. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the patent protection of the medicine during the framework agreement. The contract, valued at £981,376, was signed on 17th February 2022, confirming the award to the supplier, Janssen-Cilag Ltd, with a service delivery requirement extending to various NHS structures and Integrated Joint Boards across Scotland.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies, particularly companies that can provide similar patented or exclusive medicines. Suppliers within the healthcare sector, especially those experienced in public sector contracts and with the capability of delivering goods to NHS organisations, would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement activities. The framework agreement also indicates potential for ongoing contracts and extensions, making this a valuable opportunity for established suppliers in the health industry.
