Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Commissioning Board, operating as NHS England, initiated a tender titled "NHS National Generic Pharmaceuticals Transition 2021_1", primarily focused on pharmaceutical products under the goods category. The procurement process is currently in the awarded stage, following an open procedure and was executed in the UK. The framework agreement has a total maximum duration of 29 months, with provisions for call-offs commencing from April 15, 2021, up to June 30, 2022, depending on the specific regional lots.

Companies with capabilities in manufacturing, distributing, or providing pharmaceutical products are well-positioned to compete. The active status of multiple lots across various UK regions means there are numerous avenues for participation, making it an attractive prospect for both local and larger-scale pharmaceutical firms aiming to expand their market presence.
