## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, intends to procure generic injectable medicines for All Wales Health Boards and Trusts. The requirement covers generic drugs supplied for injection or infusion, classified as pharmaceutical products (CPV 33600000). This is a goods contract rather than a service or works requirement. Delivery will take place across Wales, for the participating health boards and trusts. The procurement is managed centrally on behalf of NHS Wales organisations, so suppliers should be able to support healthcare customers across the country and meet the operational requirements associated with supplying medicines for hospital and clinical use.

This process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. An open tender procedure is planned, although the procurement method has not yet been set out. The estimated value is £39,600,000 excluding VAT, or £47,520,000 including VAT. One lot is planned, and the contract is expected to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with renewal extending the maximum period to 30 June 2031. The buyer expects to publish the next notice by 8 September 2026. There is no formal engagement process; suppliers wishing to obtain information before the tender is published may contact the procurement service. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement is likely to suit pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist medicines distributors able to supply generic injectable and infusion medicines at health-service scale. Strong candidates will need reliable access to compliant pharmaceutical products, robust quality and regulatory controls, secure storage and distribution, and the capacity to deliver consistently across Wales. Experience supplying NHS organisations or other hospital and clinical customers would be relevant, particularly where medicines must be managed through dependable ordering, fulfilment and delivery arrangements. The single-lot structure may allow an established supplier to provide the overall requirement, while the buyer has explicitly indicated that SMEs are suitable. Businesses should use the planning period to assess their product range, supply resilience and ability to meet future tender requirements.
