## Summary

The NHS Framework for the Supply of Generic Pharmaceuticals Wave 10b is an ongoing procurement process led by the Commercial Medicines Unit, located in Reading, Berkshire. This open procedure is classified under the pharmaceutical products category and has a total contract value of £116 million. The procurement period allows for call-offs from 1st November 2016 to 30th June 2019, with an option for extension up to four years. The tender period concluded on 21st April 2016, and interested suppliers should consider the deadline for any future call-off contracts that may arise under this framework.
