Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is overseeing a procurement process titled "Framework Agreement for the Supply of Unlicensed Imported Medicines Services and Products to Trusts within the North of England." This initiative falls within the pharmaceutical products industry category and pertains to the supply of goods. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, focuses on the delivery of items across the UK, particularly the North of England. The project includes mini competitions and direct awards potential, offering a framework agreement that can be extended by up to 12 months. Key dates include the contract being signed on 30th December 2025, with the framework commencing in early 2025 and progressing into March 2026. This procurement process has been successfully awarded to multiple suppliers, with the award stage recently completed as of 26th March 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for suppliers, particularly those capable of providing pharmaceutical products without a UK marketing authorisation, but licensed abroad. Designed to foster business growth, the tender enables mid-sized enterprises to showcase their technical prowess and offer competitive commercial terms. Businesses involved in medicine importation would benefit immensely from participating in this framework, as eight small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), alongside larger organizations, have already successfully secured contracts. The focus on technical quality and social value ensures that suppliers aligned with quality standards and social responsibility have a competitive edge in bidding for such contracts, encouraging robust business growth and expansion within the pharmaceutical industry.
