## Summary

The Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is actively seeking suppliers for a significant procurement under the title "PR BHFT 0796 - Supply of Dose Banded Compounded Chemotherapy." This tender pertains to the pharmaceutical products and services industry and is structured as a ranked framework open to multiple NHS trusts within the UK, notably in the South East. This public procurement process, currently in the tender stage, utilises an open procedure and is aimed at securing a substantial £10,350,000 contract divided into two lots: high and low volume chemotherapy products. Interested parties should note that the tender period concludes on 27th May 2026, with the award scheduled for commencement from 1st October 2026. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, supporting the transparency and competitiveness of the contract.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, particularly those specialising in chemotherapy products, to establish or expand their footprint within the NHS supply chain. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are especially encouraged to apply, as suitability criteria include provisions for these types of organisations. The framework is designed not only to consolidate supply across several Trusts but also ensures flexibility in maintaining incumbent supplier relationships, thus providing new entrants the necessary platform to showcase their value propositions in a competitive, well-supported environment. With a focus on quality, price, and social value, this tender is particularly attractive to firms with robust technical capabilities and a commitment to high standards within pharmaceutical manufacturing and delivery.

These have yielded good results previously. - we have prepared our tender pack (see attached), that detail standard NHS contractual terms which have been found to be acceptable to the supply chain. - we understand the likely suppliers who will be interested but the open notice approach gives opportunity to others looking to enter the Dose banded compounded chemotherapy supply market.
