## Summary

The contract awarded by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), pertains to the supply of Raltegravir (Isentress®) 400mg and 600mg tablets for NHS Scotland. This procurement, classified under the health sector, took place in Edinburgh and is currently in the active award stage. The contract, valued at approximately £2,523,285, was formally signed on 17th February 2022, following a limited procurement method that did not require prior publication of a call for competition due to patent protection on the medication supplied.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those specialising in the supply of patented medications or healthcare-related products. Companies that have the capacity to meet NHS Scotland’s procurement criteria and possess experience in managing large-scale deliveries of pharmaceuticals would be well-positioned to compete should similar opportunities arise in the future. The framework agreement established allows for continued supplies within the NHS, thereby facilitating potential growth for suppliers in a stable and expanding market.
