NHS Framework Agreement for Unlicensed Aseptic Compounded Medicines

The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium is establishing a Framework Agreement for suppliers of unlicensed aseptic compounded specials. This opportunity covers the supply of sterile, ready-to-administer injectable and infusion products that are batch manufactured or aseptically prepared to UK regulatory standards and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Successful suppliers must hold all necessary UK manufacturing licences, authorisations, and regulatory approvals for unlicensed medicines, with appropriate quality assurance and batch release procedures in place. This framework will enable NHS organisations to access safe, compliant, and competitively priced unlicensed aseptic products, ensuring continuity of supply, consistent product quality, patient safety, and value for money across the healthcare system. Interested suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate full regulatory compliance and robust quality management systems.
