UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England intends to procure continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices for use across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is for real-time glucose monitoring systems that measure interstitial glucose through a small sensor inserted under the skin, reducing the need for frequent finger-prick tests. Supply is expected to include sensors, transmitters where applicable, and display devices. This is a goods procurement for glucose-monitoring and diagnostic equipment, rather than a clinical service or installation project. It will suit manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide CGM systems and their component devices at national scale for NHS use.

The procurement is at the planning stage: NHS England has stated an intention to buy, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is a competitive flexible procedure, above the relevant threshold, with one planned lot. The estimated value is £1,418,520,320 excluding tax, or £1,702,224,384 including tax. The buyer expects the contract to run from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2032, with a possible renewal extending the maximum period to 31 March 2033. NHS England currently expects the next procurement notice to be published on 1 April 2027. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covers supply across England.

This planned requirement is relevant to businesses that manufacture or distribute continuous glucose monitoring systems, sensors, transmitters and compatible display devices for healthcare use. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their products provide continuous, real-time interstitial glucose readings and reduce reliance on finger-prick testing. The scale and national coverage will favour organisations with established medical-device supply chains, dependable production or distribution capacity, and the ability to support NHS demand across multiple English regions. It may also suit smaller specialist businesses, since the planned lot is expressly considered suitable for SMEs. Businesses should monitor the procurement timetable and prepare evidence of product capability, supply resilience and experience delivering regulated glucose-monitoring equipment.
