Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Strategic stockpile of medicines 2017" was initiated by the Commercial Medicines Unit, part of Public Health England. This tender, classified under the pharmaceutical products category (CPV code 33600000), involved establishing a framework agreement allowing for the supply of emergency medicines. The tender period ended on 28 July 2016, and the contract commenced on 18 April 2017, running until 31 March 2019. This procurement utilized a selective method under strict procedures due to the nature of the goods involved, encompassing delivery across various regions including the UK and overseas territories.

This opportunity creates significant potential for business growth, particularly for large pharmaceutical suppliers capable of meeting the stringent requirements for emergency medicines. Companies specialising in pharmaceuticals, particularly those able to supply ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, and gentamicin, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The established framework allows suppliers to fulfil the ongoing demand from Public Health England, thus providing a pathway to secure valuable contracts in a vital sector.
