Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "NEYPPC Licensed Medicines Provision of Pharmaceutical Wholesale Services 26" was conducted by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, operating under the public authority of central government. The process involved an open procedure to establish a closed framework agreement, with the procurement focused on the delivery of licensed medicines to Trusts across North East, North Cumbria, Yorkshire, The Humber, and North West regions. Key dates included the awarding date on 3rd August 2026 and a contract period slated to start on 1st October 2026, lasting until 30th September 2029 with an optional one-year extension. The main procurement category is goods, specifically pharmaceutical products, with the total contract valued at £2.448 billion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical products and distribution, particularly large-scale operations capable of managing extensive logistics across the specified regions. The procurement framework does not reopen competition, solidifying it as a stable opportunity for selected suppliers such as Alliance Healthcare, AAH Pharmaceuticals Limited, Phoenix Healthcare, and Mawdsley-Brooks & Co Ltd, who have been awarded contracts. Businesses within the pharmaceutical industry that can provide high-quality service and competitive pricing, with a capacity to engage in large-scale wholesale transactions, would benefit most from participating in such frameworks.
