This tender, titled "Framework for the Supply of Adult and Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition Products," falls under the pharmaceutical products category and is scheduled in the planning stage. The procurement method is open, and the process will take place through an open procedure. The framework is valued at £3,000,000 and will commence from 1st August 2027, with an end date projected for 31st July 2029. Businesses have until 1st July 2026 to be informed of the future notice.

This tender process offers significant opportunities for companies specialising in pharmaceutical and nutrition products to expand their market reach by supplying high-priority healthcare goods. The Trust has outlined a need for a range of nutritional products, including standardised and bespoke PN bags. Companies capable of delivering licensed and unlicensed nutritional products with quick lead times will find business growth potential here. This opportunity is particularly well-suited to SMEs, as the procurement stipulates SME suitability for participation. Engaging in this framework can enable businesses to form long-term partnerships within the healthcare sector and support the Trust's needs for complex and compliant nutrition solutions. ## Notice Framework for the provision of a service to supply Parenteral Nutrition for Adult, Paediatric and Neonatal products. Standardised Licenced PN bag with fixed nutritional composition to which vitamins, trace elements and electrolytes have been added by the supplier at the request of the Trust, therefore making an unlicensed finished product. The Tender will split into three categories: 1.Standardised Unlicensed PN bags compounded to a standard composition (either Trust or company formulation) 2. as above but to which pharmacy departments may choose to make vitamin, trace element and electrolyte additions locally in their aseptic facilities. 3. Fully bespoke PN bags where the supplier provides PN bags to a specified nutritional composition with or without vitamins, trace elements and electrolytes. It is accepted that these products will have very limited shelf life and therefore a critical aspect of the supply will be the lead time between the supplier receiving the request and the pharmacy receiving the product. EMPC are looking at other compliant options to market which includes investigating other current contracts for suitability due to the complex needs and demands of our member Trusts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/073652-2025 | | Notice type | UK1 - Pipeline Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Nov 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jul 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2027 - 31 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF DERBY AND BURTON NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE22 3NE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Littleover | | Westminster constituency | Derby North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33600000 - Pharmaceutical products ## Release History - 13 Nov 2025 at 15:38 - PlanningUpdate - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/073652-2025 - 9 Jun 2025 at 12:55 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030944-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/073652-2025 13th November 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030944-2025 9th June 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.uhdb.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
