## Summary

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust procured a wholesale supply of pharmaceutical products for its Medicines Supply Chain Partnership. The requirement is for medicines supply-chain services, delivered to the Trust in Poole, Dorset. The procurement was an extension to existing wholesale arrangements, using the East of England framework while a new PPSA framework was being finalised. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust; the scope described is pharmaceutical products supplied wholesale rather than a broader clinical or hospital service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to multiple suppliers, recorded collectively as “Multiple Suppliers”; individual supplier names are not identified. The award date was 1 July 2026, and the extension contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award value is £34,852,098. The procurement used a selective process through a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The stated submission deadline was 30 June 2026. The available procurement information does not set out lot divisions, eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria, so the stated award route is the main basis on which the process can be understood.

This award shows demand from University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust for a large-scale wholesale medicines supply chain, delivered through a framework call-off and coordinated across multiple suppliers. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need the breadth and operational capacity to supply pharmaceutical products reliably to an NHS buyer, alongside experience working within framework arrangements and coordinating medicines distribution. The requirement is explicitly wholesale and linked to the Trust’s Medicines Supply Chain Partnership, so relevant expertise is in pharmaceutical wholesaling and dependable supply-chain performance, rather than general healthcare provision. The use of multiple suppliers suggests the buyer’s requirement can be met across a supplier group; firms able to contribute a dependable part of that supply chain may be relevant, provided they can meet the buyer’s framework and delivery requirements.
