## Summary

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the procurement process for a multi-provider framework agreement for the supply of Ready to Administer Products. The procurement, initiated by the East Midlands Pharmacy Collaborative (EMPC), involved an open procedure and covered the period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2027, with a potential two-year extension to 2029. The procurement aligns with the Public Contracts Regulations 2023, UKPGA, and has a comprehensive framework allowing members to call off contracts based on supplier performance, product availability, and other criteria. The procurement was completed without pre-market engagement, aiming to support member Trusts in the East Midlands region with essential pharmaceutical products.

This framework offers significant opportunities for suppliers in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those capable of providing Ready to Administer Products. The agreement not only supports large-scale suppliers like B Braun Ltd, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, and Sciensus Pharma Services Ltd but also small and medium-sized enterprises that meet the framework's quality and availability requirements. Businesses involved benefit from long-term, stable engagements with governing NHS trusts, ensuring steady demand and potential for growth through repeat engagements over the contract's lifetime and any extensions. Suppliers positioned to deliver high-quality products promptly and cost-effectively are particularly well-suited to capitalize on this framework.
