Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is conducting an open tender for the supply of licensed tenofovir disoproxil/emtricitabine combined tablet formulations for the PrEP IMPACT Trial. This procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 noon on 26th June 2017. The contract will commence on 1st August 2017 and is expected to run until 31st July 2020. The primary industry category for this tender falls under "Antivirals for systemic use", and the delivery addresses include various locations within the United Kingdom and overseas, such as the British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands. This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, especially those focused on antiviral products. Companies that can supply the specified licensed formulations and demonstrate capability in managing large-scale deliveries to healthcare trials will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, given the trial's scale, with plans to include at least 10,000 participants, firms experienced in working with the NHS or similar public health organisations would find this procurement particularly relevant for growth. With a budget allocated to the trial of £10 million, the potential for contract awards could significantly benefit suppliers who meet the required standards and specifications outlined in the tender documents.
