Notice Information
Notice Title
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System for Medicines Manufacturing Centre
Notice Description
The Medicines Manufacturing Centre LLP (MMC) is a new regional centre owned by the eight acute and community NHS Foundation Trusts in the North-East and North Cumbria. The MMC will produce high-quality, ready-to-administer injectable medicines, including chemotherapy, antibiotics and over-labelled packs to support faster patient discharge. The ERP must be a comprehensive business platform that integrates and automates core processes--including finance, manufacturing, and supply chain--within a single, unified system. It will centralise data to improve efficiency, provide actionable insights, and support informed decision making across the MMC. By connecting information from multiple departments, the ERP will enable seamless data flow, reduce duplication, and provide real time visibility of operations. The proposed solution must be an existing ERP product, fully developed and available for deployment in a GMP regulated environment. As the ERP will be used across several functions--from warehousing to manufacturing--the URS includes requirements tailored to each department's operational needs. The primary purpose of the ERP will be to control and manage stock, including final products destined for shipment to hospital sites. The system will also support daily operational activities, ensuring stock availability to maintain uninterrupted production, as well as managing, tracking, and forecasting work orders. It is anticipated that the system will initially support approximately 10 full business users, increasing to around 25 full users and 25 light users within two years.
