## Summary

The East Midlands Pharmacy Collaborative (EMPC) has completed the award stage for a Framework Agreement focused on the provision of dose banded chemotherapy services. This tender, classified under the pharmaceutical products category (CPV code 33600000), was conducted using an open procedure above the threshold. The current contract is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and will last until 30th June 2027, covering various delivery locations in England, including Derby, United Kingdom. The contract extension was made to ensure the continuity of patient care, pending the future tendering processes due later in 2026.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are deemed suitable for this type of contract. The contract, valued at £9,000,000, is currently awarded to suppliers including ITH Pharma, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, and Qualasept Ltd t/a Bath ASU. The involvement of both large-scale suppliers and SMEs signals a diverse competitive landscape, opening up avenues for more companies to participate and secure future contracts. This creates a strategic platform for businesses seeking expansion within the pharmaceutical supply chain, given the framework's focus on critical healthcare services.
