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.
