## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed the procurement process for the supply of clozapine medicines, which includes four patient testing routes, to NHS Scotland. This contract, termed NP31424 Clozapine Medicines, falls under the health industry category and pertains to all entities established under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement method was an open procedure, aimed at awarding a single-supplier Framework Agreement for each lot within the contract. The key milestone in this process was the signing of contracts on 4th October 2024, with the total contract value amounting to £4,318,596 GBP. The procurement stage is now at 'award' with the contract having been signed and active.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain focused on clozapine medications. Large-scale suppliers, such as Viatris UK Healthcare Ltd, which won the core Clozapine Tablets lot, are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders due to their ability to meet the stringent quality and price criteria required by NHS Scotland. Such contracts provide opportunities for businesses to establish long-term relationships with public healthcare buyers, offering stability and potential for expanded services within the healthcare sector of the UK.
