UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage of procuring a framework for the supply of dose-banded chemotherapy products. The tender is titled "D100 - Dose Banded Chemotherapy," and falls under the pharmaceutical products category. The procurement process, which is above the threshold, involves a framework agreement and is set to take place at Royal Derby Hospital in Derby, UK. Pre-market engagement meetings are scheduled to take place virtually on Microsoft Teams on 12th and 19th June 2025, with key aspects of the framework and product list to be discussed. The full tender process is anticipated to advance after these engagements, with a future notice date set for 22nd September 2025. The contract period for the supply is projected to start on 1st July 2026, lasting until 30th June 2028, with potential renewals extending to 2030.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly suppliers of chemotherapy products. The requirement for a framework agreement suggests that there will be opportunities for multiple suppliers to participate, thus opening up avenues for smaller businesses as well as established pharmaceutical suppliers. Engaging in the pre-market meetings will be crucial for prospective suppliers to understand the specific requirements and engage directly with the buyer, potentially allowing for alignment with the procurement criteria and competitive bidding strategies.
