In plain English

NHS England is procuring generic pharmaceuticals, which are standard, non-branded medicines, under a project called Revive. The contract covers three groups of NHS regions and runs for 22 months, from 1 April 2027 to 31 January 2029, with an estimated value of £6,864,264.

What the buyer wants

• Supply generic pharmaceutical products to the DCE/DSW regions from 01/04/27 to 31/01/29. • Supply generic pharmaceutical products to the DLS/DNE regions over the same period. • Supply generic pharmaceutical products to the DLN/DNW regions over the same period.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no eligibility criteria, but its value of about £6.9 million over 22 months across three regional groups for supplying medicines would most likely rule out small businesses that cannot supply pharmaceutical products at that scale.

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.
