## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust) has awarded a contract titled "Transitional Drugs 7" for the provision of pharmaceutical products that have recently lost exclusivity. The contract was signed on 30th June 2026 and spans from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028, with a provision for a further 24-month extension. The open procedure procurement process, primarily under the goods category, involved multiple large suppliers, including Amgen Ltd, Celltrion Healthcare, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd, targeting the UK region, specifically Wales. The procurement falls under the legal framework of the Welsh devolved regulations and the central government public authority type.

This procurement opportunity provides significant business growth potential, especially for large-scale pharmaceutical suppliers experienced in manufacturing and supplying drugs that have lost patent protection. Given the substantial contract value of over £16 million, only enterprises with robust production capabilities and compliance with regulatory standards would be considered well-suited to compete. The involvement in such a tender allows businesses to enhance their market reach within the UK's healthcare sector, reinforcing their brand presence in the supply chain for high-demand pharmaceutical commodities.
