As of 30th July 2026, the main procurement category is goods, with a focus on pharmaceuticals within the UKM region. This open procurement method follows an established open procedure, with key procurement stages currently at the tender update phase. A delay in publishing the Invitation to Tender (ITT) has extended the deadline to 1st September 2026. The procurement process is conducted electronically, with a value of £197,026,942 and aims to supply medicines throughout all entities formed under the NHS (Scotland) Act 1978 and related boards. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies involved in the supply and distribution of pharmaceuticals, particularly those specialising in cancer treatment drugs. Suppliers can benefit by engaging in a high-value contract with opportunities for framework agreements, expanding their portfolios within public sector health services. Businesses with a successful record of managing large supply chains and possessing the necessary certifications, such as UK Marketing Authorisation and ISO 9001, are well-suited to compete. By participating in this framework, businesses not only secure potential growth through a stable contract but also contribute positively to community benefit initiatives, aligning with NHS Scotland's strategies for socio-economic impact and sustainability in procurement. ## Notice Supply of Generic and Biosimilar Cancer Medicines to NHS Scotland. ### Lot Information Bendamustine powder for solution for infusion vials Supply of Lot 1 Bendamustine powder for solution for infusion vials to NHS Scotland.
