The brief

This framework agreement is for the provision of pharmaceutical wholesale services, including the supply and distribution of medicines and associated pharmaceutical products to EMPC member Trusts.

The framework will support safe, efficient, and cost-effective supply, incorporating e-trading, training, and robust contract management arrangements to ensure continuity of supply, performance monitoring, and support evolving NHS pharmacy service models (e.g.

7-day services).

The membership may change but this Framework will only be made available to members of EMPC which only covers the East Midlands.

This is to ensure contract coverage remains in place as the NHS continues to change its configuration.
