## Summary

The NHS Framework Agreement for Branded Medicines, focusing on Tranche A for London and the South of England, along with a national contract for Adult Influenza, represents a significant procurement exercise managed by NHS England. This process, initiated through the open procedure, commenced with tenders and culminated in awards for both lots under the frameworks. The Tranche A framework agreement is set for the period of 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2027, and the Adult Influenza contract spans up to 31 August 2026, with potential extensions at NHS England's discretion. This procurement falls under the Pharmaceutical Products category (CPV 33600000) and focuses on the supply of goods in the UK. The contract award phase, following completion of the tender stage, features numerous active suppliers, including Roche Products Ltd, Amgen Ltd, and AstraZeneca, among others. Key dates included the tender period ending on 18 March 2025, and the contracts were signed on 25 June 2025.

This framework agreement provides extensive business growth opportunities within the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for suppliers of branded medicines and vaccines. The engagement of several large pharmaceutical firms highlights the competitive nature of this sector, though SMEs also have a viable pathway, given the number of SME bids submitted. Companies well-suited to compete in this procurement process are those with a robust supply chain in the UK, capable of meeting both the regional and national healthcare needs—as laid out by NHS England’s far-reaching plans. Participating in such frameworks not only supports the business growth of these companies through significant contract values, like the overall agreement value of £616.714 million, but also fosters long-term relationships with a major buyer in the healthcare sector. Potential bidders are encouraged to review tender documents and procurement specifics through the designated eTendering portal.
