Lot Information
Lot 1
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global challenges faced this century. Already, AMR infections are estimated to cause 700,000 deaths each year globally. That figure is predicted to rise to 10 million, alongside a cumulative cost of $100 trillion, by 2050 if no action is taken. The UK Government has recognised AMR as a global problem and committed action to tackle it as a priority issue.
For most antimicrobial products, there are few replacements or alternative products in development and even fewer that target priority pathogens; therefore, investment in novel antimicrobials is widely seen as commercially unattractive. NHS England recognised this problem and has built an innovative model that will pay companies a fixed annual fee for antimicrobials (subscription model).
Providers must be able to meet the requirements set out in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) and deliver the contract in accordance with its terms.
Providers wishing to be considered for a subscription model contract must provide the information requested in the procurement documentation prior to the deadlines stated in this notice and the ITT.

The reference is C299010 and the closing date for completed of the selection questionnaire is 13:00pm , on Thursday 12th September 2024.
