Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work.

What the notice says

EoECPH intends to award a framework agreement to provide healthcare organisations with controlled access to unlicensed imported medicines—products that do not hold a UK marketing authorisation but are licensed and approved for use in their country of manufacture. These medicines are sourced internationally to ensure continuity of care when suitable licensed UK alternatives are unavailable or unable to meet specific clinical requirements. Once imported, products may require additional processes such as over‑labelling, repackaging, or translation of essential information to ensure compliance with UK standards and to support safe administration within clinical settings.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
