## Summary

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a public procurement process for the framework titled "Provision of Dose Banded Products & Patient Specific Chemotherapy Services" within the pharmaceutical industry category. Located in Derby, this process focuses on ensuring continuous supply and services through a contract extension from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase as depicted by the extension granted on 1 April 2026, valued at £9,000,000. The procurement method employed is a direct award to enhance continuity of patient care and cater to the increasing demand for additional molecules.

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, especially large-scale suppliers capable of handling significant service demands. The extension was granted to established suppliers such as Bath ASU, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, and ITH Pharma Ltd, indicating a preference for organisations experienced in providing complex pharmaceutical products. This contract is particularly suitable for businesses that can offer comprehensive solutions in dose banding and chemotherapy services, with the capability to continue meeting high service delivery standards within the UK healthcare system.

### Procurement Information

The estimated revised spend for EMPC for this new Contract value now exceeds the Cabinet Office Spend Control Threshold of PS20 million for a two-year framework period. This is due to the increase requirements for additional molecules across our member Trusts. Under Cabinet Office Spend Control requirements, EMPC are required to submit a business case for approval prior to publishing the new tender. The current contract is due to expire on 30 June 2026. To maintain continuity of patient care and ensure uninterrupted product and service delivery, EMPC will extend the existing agreements with current Awarded Suppliers beyond this date. New Procurement timescales will be communicated to the market as soon as possible. It is anticipated the new Tender will be published in the summer of 2026 if spend control approval is given. A UK 06 Contract Award and a UK 07 Contract Details Notice will be published on the Find a Tender portal.
