Summary of the contracting process

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through Public Health England, is conducting a public procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) dedicated to the supply of antidotes and antibiotics. This procurement, categorised under pharmaceutical products, is valued at £35 million and aims to establish a mechanism for emergency stockpiling over a 10-year period, resulting in multiple call-off contracts. The tender period is set to close on 22nd March 2021, with the contract period starting on 1st April 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2031. The procurement is being executed through a selective method under a restricted procedure due to its substantial scale.

This tender presents considerable growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in pharmaceutical products or related services. Companies capable of providing high-quality antidotes and antibiotics, or those with innovative approaches to efficient stockpiling and delivery mechanisms, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Engaging with this tender allows suppliers to not only expand their market reach within the healthcare sector but also to contribute significantly to public health preparedness strategies within the UK.
