Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning a procurement process for the supply of generic oral liquid drugs. This falls under the pharmaceutical products category (CPV: 33600000) and is intended for delivery within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKL region. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a notice of future tender communication anticipated by 1st July 2026. The contract period is planned to start on 1st July 2027 and end on 30th June 2030, with a maximum extent date of 30th June 2031. The procurement will take place in accordance with UK devolved regulations, specifically within the Welsh jurisdiction, and the type of the process is above threshold, focusing on goods procurement.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for suppliers within the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those specialising in the production and distribution of generic oral liquid forms. Companies with robust supply chains and the ability to meet regional delivery requirements across the UK stand to benefit significantly. Since the contract is planned with the possibility of renewal, businesses capable of maintaining a high standard of supply and compliance with regulatory requirements could find a long-term engagement opportunity. Enterprises interested in expanding their footprint within the public health sector of Wales, and those keen on forming partnerships with public authority purchasers, will find this tender especially appealing.
