UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has concluded its procurement process titled "Transitional Drugs 6," which falls under the pharmaceutical products category. The procurement focused on drugs that have recently lost exclusivity, employing an open procedure. The contract covers deliveries across the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the UKL region. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract active from 1st March 2026 through 29th February 2028, and a potential extension up to 28th February 2030. This tender process aimed to provide significant opportunities for suppliers, with a gross value of over £1.9 million as per planning phase and an active contract valued gross at nearly £2 million.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for large pharmaceutical companies specialising in products with recent exclusivity loss. The active involvement of major suppliers such as Accord UK Ltd, Amgen Ltd, and Celltrion Healthcare highlights the competitive advantage for well-established companies with capabilities to meet high-volume pharmaceutical demands. With an emphasis on product quality and overall contract cost, businesses excelling in these areas are likely to thrive in similar tenders, connecting with NHS Wales and serving a wide regional demand. The open procedure invites businesses to explore and engage further in a sector-oriented tender, thus bolstering potential growth in the pharmaceuticals market.
