## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a framework agreement on the manufacture and supply of children's and women's Healthy Start Vitamins. This procurement, categorized under the pharmaceutical products industry, has a substantial budget of £6,567,246.82, with a gross value of £7,880,696.18. A pre-market engagement seminar will be held on 6th July 2026, followed by supplier one-to-one sessions, and interested suppliers are encouraged to register on the Atamis e-procurement system by 21st July 2026. The procurement process is initiated as a tender and is scheduled to issue further communication by 9th November 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing vitamins and pharmaceutical products. With a contract period beginning in April 2028 and ending in April 2034, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement not only offers the prospect of substantial financial rewards but also the chance to establish long-term partnerships with a central government authority, potentially boosting business growth and expanding market presence in the healthcare sector.
