Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority, is planning a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "D101 - Framework for the supply of Unlicensed Compound Specials." This tender concerns the supply of unlicensed compounded medicinal products necessary for patient care when no licensed medicines are available. The procurement process currently stands at the planning stage, with further notices anticipated by 2nd March 2026. Contract fulfilment will occur from 31st August 2026 to 30th August 2028, with the possibility of renewal until 2030. The trust's primary location is in Derby, United Kingdom, under the pharmaceutical products industry category, and an estimated contract value of one million GBP has been set.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specializing in pharmaceutical manufacturing, to supply high-quality, cost-effective unlicensed compounded medicines. Suppliers who are capable of delivering batch-produced, quality-assured medicinal products would be well-positioned to meet the needs of the participating Trusts in the East Midlands. By securing a place within this framework agreement, businesses can establish long-term relationships within the healthcare sector and expand their offerings within the public health system. The framework's structure supports consistent demand, providing stability and growth potential for suitable suppliers.

Notice Title

D101 - Framework for the supply of Unlicensed Compound Specials

Notice Description

To supply unlicensed compounded medicinal products. Unlicensed compounded medicinal products are purchased to meet the clinical needs of patients for which no licensed medicine is available. Participating Trusts within the East Midlands have insufficient capacity to compound sufficient unlicensed medicines to meet their needs, therefore a supplier/supplier(s) are sought who are able to offer a high-quality, cost-effective service to supply unlicensed compounded medicines. Trusts will buy the unlicensed compounded medicines to hold as stock, to meet the anticipated future needs of their patients. The unlicensed medicines will, therefore, be required to be batch produced and quality assured.
