What do buyers ask for in pharmaceutical contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win pharmaceutical contracts?
Often, yes. 2 of the 2 live tenders in Wales are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Medical supplies
Medical supplies are mostly bought through national and regional frameworks. Product compliance (UKCA or CE marking, MHRA registration where relevant) and a reliable supply chain are usually checked before price is even scored.
