Summary of the contracting process

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency, has awarded a contract for the supply of pralidoxime chloride to Baxter Healthcare Ltd. This pharmaceutical product procurement, aimed at replenishing emergency planning stockpiles, falls under the 'goods' category and is designated by CPV code 33600000 for pharmaceutical products. The process, which followed a restricted procedure, was initiated in 2024 and concluded with a contract signed on 10 February 2025. Deliveries will occur over two years with an option to extend for up to 24 additional months, covering locations across England. This procurement targets the healthcare sector in the UK, including NHS bodies and other non-NHS entities involved in healthcare delivery.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialised in pharmaceutical products, particularly those capable of meeting strict quality and delivery criteria. Although this contract has been awarded to Baxter Healthcare Ltd, similar future opportunities may arise for businesses that can provide essential pharmaceuticals for emergency stockpiling. Companies with expertise in high-stakes, time-sensitive deliveries, and those ready to navigate selective procurement methods will find such contracts well-suited to their capabilities. Ensuring compliance with detailed procurement processes and maintaining high standards in product supply can position these businesses favourably for future tenders.
