They are currently the largest NHS pharmaceutical manufacturing unit in the UK and manufactures unlicensed and licensed essential pharmaceuticals and CE Marked Medical Devices across a wide range of therapeutic areas. Annual Turnover is circa £20m pa and all profits are returned to the NHS Trust. On the 9th February 2019 new EU legislation came in to affect that all Licenced Products should comply with Falsified Medicines Directive. Torbay Pharmaceuticals purchased the Antares Solution to enable the application of a Unique Identifier. 2 Machines were purchased to enable TP to apply the required 2-D Barcode and Decommission where necessary. This was Phase 1 of the project. In order to ensure we are able to meet the demands of our current and future customers, automation is essential. The need to purchase an Automated Solution that will apply both the 2-D Barcode and the tamper evident label is required for each of our production lines, Ampoules and Vials. ## CPV classification Miscellaneous general and special-purpose machinery Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d64696b9-1ffd-4c34-ab53-ccd18efee5a9) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
