Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract will disqualify most small businesses because it requires pharmaceutical manufacturing or authorized wholesale distribution capability, MHRA regulatory approval, and the scale of supply is for an entire Welsh NHS region, not individual practitioners or small clinics.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
