Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 27.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 28 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £12,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

EoECPH intends to award a framework agreement for the provision of safe, legal, efficient and cost-effective pharmaceutical wholesale services comprising the delivery of medicines and other pharmaceutical products to Participating Authorities. The scope includes a requirement for the suppliers to work with Trusts, to meet the needs of the changing landscape such as seven day working or projects which integrate clinical pharmacy services and support risk avoidance and clinical governance agendas.
