Summary of the contracting process

The NHS National Framework Agreement for the supply of Inhalation Anaesthetics and Vaporisers encompasses multiple lots aimed at sourcing pharmaceutical products, specifically inhalation anaesthetics and associated vaporisers. The buying organisation, NHS England, has entered into active agreements spanning from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2027, with options to extend up to 24 months. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category within the pharmaceutical industry and utilises an open procedure. Predominantly targeting suppliers within the United Kingdom, the procurement stage has culminated in various contracts awarded to Abbvie Ltd, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, and Piramal Critical Care Limited, all of which contribute to the fulfilment of the agreement's requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the pharmaceutical sector, notably those involved in the manufacture and supply of inhalation anaesthetics and vaporisers. Companies capable of meeting criteria beyond mere price, as stated in the procurement documents, stand to benefit substantially. Large-scale suppliers, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), have successfully competed for contracts, indicating a diverse scope of competitive potential within the framework. As NHS England seeks to maintain high delivery standards across all regions, involvement in this framework could foster burgeoning business prospects and elevate suppliers within the healthcare industry.
