Lot Information
Lot 1
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has awarded a contract for the supply of 375,000 vials of Propofol 1g / 50 ml emulsion for infusion (for use in Intensive Treatment Units) in preparation for further waves of Covid 19 in Winter 2021/Spring 2022. The contract was awarded on behalf of United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
Procurement Information
The Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a serious infectious respiratory disease and its consequences pose a risk to life. The Covid-19 pandemic supportive medicines stockpile was designed as a 'one off' build to target volumes of a defined range of critical products used within the intensive treatment units and end of life environments. However, developments in Winter 2021 around the Omicron variant and heightened risk perception within Government prompted activation of the 'Challenging Winter Peak' Scenario at very short notice, resulting in an urgent requirement to procure additional volumes of some critical products to avoid their complete stockout in the month of January 2022. The global stock of Propofol is limited and there are many buyers competing for the same supplies. It is imperative that security of supply is maintained for public health purposes. Due to the short delivery timeframe required to mitigate a complete stockout, the authority did not have sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure time scales for this procurement. Accordingly, the Authority used the negotiated procedure without prior publication - Regulation 32(2)(c) - Extreme Urgency Route (i.e. direct award) permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) to conduct this procurement
