Pharmacy Over labelled Packs

The East Of England NHS Collaborative Hub is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process involving the creation of a framework for "Pharmacy Over labelled Packs". This initiative aims to facilitate a compliant route for Contracting Authorities to procure over labelled medicines, primarily used at the ward level or within clinics, enhancing the availability of medicines and streamlining procedures. Located in Fulbourn, the buying organisation operates under central government public authority classifications and plans to begin this framework from 1st March 2026, lasting until 29th February 2028, with a potential extension until 28th February 2030.

With an anticipated contract value of approximately £18,000,000 gross, the procurement is classified under the goods and services categories, targeting pharmaceutical products and pharmacy services, with the future notice set to be published by 1st October 2025. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in pharmaceutical products and pharmacy services. It offers a robust framework agreement that can foster long-term relationships with the NHS, particularly attractive for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its suitability requirements.

Businesses within the pharmaceutical industry, looking to expand their market reach within the public health sector, will find this tender a promising gateway to service delivery in the UK, benefiting from a structured and predictable procurement process under the guidance of the NHS Collaborative Hub.
