Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process to establish a National Framework for the supply of Tenofovir alafenamide/Emtricitabine 200/10mg & 200/25mg, with public authority classification under central government. The initiative aims to engage with suppliers who intend to launch the specified pharmaceutical products, with a scheduled virtual preliminary market engagement meeting taking place on 11 June 2026. The procurement covers various regions across the United Kingdom, such as UKC, UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKJ, and UKK, targeting the pharmaceutical products industry. The framework is set to commence on 1 February 2027 and is planned to run until 31 October 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. The method of procurement is through an open procedure, signifying that any interested and capable supplier may participate.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the pharmaceutical industry, especially those focusing on pharmaceutical products, to gain a foothold in a lucrative market with an estimated contract value of £71,550,000 gross. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly advantageous due to its suitability for such entities and the framework agreement's potential for contract renewal. By engaging in this procurement, companies can expand their business presence, secure long-term contracts, and contribute to national health initiatives by supplying critical pharmaceutical products. Potential suppliers are encouraged to contact the NHS Medicines Procurement and Supply Chain, expressing their interest and positioning themselves competitively for this strategic engagement.
