## Summary

The NHS Framework Agreement for National Generic Pharmaceuticals has been awarded by NHS England, with an estimated value of £90,000,000. This framework agreement will run from 1st March 2019 to 28th February 2021, with potential extensions up to a total maximum of 48 months. The procurement process followed an open procedure and was classified under the pharmaceutical products industry. The tender was officially awarded on 14th November 2018, with key delivery areas across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and South East among others.

This opportunity is particularly beneficial for pharmaceutical suppliers and manufacturers, especially those with a small to medium enterprise (SME) status, looking to grow their market share within the healthcare sector. With the framework allowing for varied delivery across multiple regions, companies that can provide generic pharmaceuticals will find a conducive environment for competitive bidding. This is an excellent platform for businesses capable of meeting NHS standards and requirements, thus further diversifying their portfolio in governmental contracts.
