## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, intends to buy generic medicines supplied as oral liquids for health boards and trusts across Wales. This is a goods procurement for pharmaceutical products, with delivery across Wales. The intended users are NHS organisations throughout the country; suppliers specialising in generic medicines and oral liquid formulations are the relevant market.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender yet. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 30 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with a possible extension to 30 June 2031. The estimated value is £6,740,999.92 excluding VAT (£8,089,199.87 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot. The buyer has not yet set out the procedure or evaluation basis in the information provided.

The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so suppliers of this scale may be able to compete. It is relevant to businesses with the product range and supply capability to provide generic oral liquid medicines to NHS health organisations across Wales. The scale and national coverage point to an opportunity for suppliers able to serve multiple health boards and trusts. Suppliers can use the planning period to assess their fit and prepare for the later tender; the buyer has stated that there is no formal engagement process.
