UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited, based in London, has initiated a tender process with a focus on Insulin Pumps, Continuous Glucose Monitoring Products, and associated products. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with NHS Supply Chain facilitating supplier engagement activities prior to the release of the tender. The initiative falls under the goods category and targets the healthcare sector, specifically addressing medical devices and consumables. Key dates include the deadline for submitting the Request for Information (RFI) by 31 March 2026 and the projected publication of the next tender notice in January 2028. Suppliers can engage through webinars, meetings, and a face-to-face session to prepare for future procurement activities.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the medical technologies sector, particularly those with capabilities in producing advanced diabetes management systems. The substantial estimated expenditure from £240 million to £250 million in the first year, with a potential total value of £3 billion over eight years, highlights the scale and potential of business development. SMEs, new entrants, and established manufacturers with ISO and CE certifications are encouraged to participate, given the broad eligibility criteria and open framework agreement. This initiative will enable suppliers to contribute to improving national diabetes services while expanding their market presence within the NHS's procurement network.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring products contributing to the delivery of hybrid closed loop pathways and associated products

Notice Description

NHS Supply Chain supports national diabetes services by enabling equitable access to advanced diabetes technologies, encouraging openness to innovation, and ensuring an appropriate balance between clinical outcomes, cybersecurity, interoperability, and value for money. This notice is published to inform the market and to invite suppliers to participate in preliminary market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. NHS Supply Chain is exploring the potential establishment of an open framework agreement with a proposed duration of up to eight (8) years for the supply of insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, hybrid closed loop system components, and associated products and services. The proposed scope may include, but is not limited to, tethered insulin pumps, patch insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring devices, products contributing to the functionality of hybrid closed loop insulin delivery systems, consumables, and smart insulin pens. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that indicative expenditure in the first year may be in the region of PS240,000,000 to PS250,000,000 GBP (excluding VAT). This estimate is indicative only and may vary depending on the requirements of contracting authorities accessing the framework. The estimated total value over the potential eight year duration is approximately PS3,000,000,000 GBP (excluding VAT). Any future framework agreement would support delivery of the NHS England Implementation Plan following the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Technology Appraisal TA943 - Hybrid closed loop systems for managing blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes, published on 19 December 2023. Participation in this preliminary market engagement is voluntary and does not constitute a commitment by NHS Supply Chain to commence a procurement, to award a contract, or to include any participant in any future procurement process. Any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and published via the Find a Tender Service as appropriate. Any resulting framework agreement would be entered into between NHS Supply Chain and the appointed supplier(s)
