Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS England involves the creation of a national framework for the supply of Generics Housekeeping and Supply Chain Resilience Products, targeting the pharmaceutical industry. The framework agreement is set to commence on 1 June 2025 and is divided into multiple periods of call-offs across various regions, including the Midlands, London, Northwest, and others, with durations ranging from 12 to 24 months. This tender, following an open procedure above the threshold, reached the award stage on 16 April 2025, indicating its completion. Key dates include the contract period starting on 1 June 2025 and ending on 31 May 2027, with opportunities to extend for up to an additional 48 months at the authority's discretion. The total value of the award is approximately £11.66 million GBP, aimed at the delivery of pharmaceutical goods throughout the United Kingdom.
