Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS London Procurement Partnership is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Over-labelled Medicines Framework". This tender falls under the pharmaceutical products category and is designed for various clinical and out-of-hours settings, including hospitals and community health services. The procurement method being employed is an open procedure above threshold, aimed at establishing a framework agreement or perhaps a Dynamic Market. The initiative prioritises efficiency and patient safety through pre-labelled packs. The delivery location for this framework is in London, United Kingdom, as indicated by the postal code SE1 2ND. Businesses should take note that the future notice date is 1st September 2025, with the contract period expected to run from June 2026 to June 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as it is deemed suitable for them, though not for voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses specialising in pharmaceutical manufacturing or supply chains that can provide over-labelled medicines efficiently would find this tender highly relevant. Such firms can leverage the opportunity to collaborate with a prominent healthcare procurement organisation, potentially opening doors to further contracts within the NHS and enhancing their market presence.
