Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, based at Royal Derby Hospital in Derby, United Kingdom, has completed a direct award procurement process for the supply of Adult and Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition Products. This initiative is to maintain continuity of patient care after the current contract expires on 31st July 2026. With a contract timeline from August 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, the procurement falls under the goods category and was awarded to suppliers including Fresenius Kabi Ltd, B Braun Medical, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, and ITH Pharma Ltd. Key dates include the completion on 5th May 2026 with a future signature milestone scheduled for 1st June 2026. The estimated value of the award is £1,500,000, conducted under a direct award method, given the unsuccessful attempt to transition to an alternative Hub Framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical products and nutrition supply, particularly those capable of providing continuous product and service delivery in the health sector. Large enterprises with established frameworks and logistical capabilities like those presently awarded may find substantial growth prospects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise could also compete effectively by engaging in pre-market activities and aligning closely with public sector requirements, ensuring a stable production chain and responsive service to suit the healthcare sector's stringent needs.

Notice Description

The current contract is due to expire on 31 July 2026.

Following completion of the procurement, a UK 06 Contract Award Notice and UK07 Contract Details Notice will be published on Find a Tender in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
