UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium plans to source unlicensed medicines imported from trusted countries. The medicines must meet UK regulatory standards, and the route is intended to give NHS trusts across the region access to safe, compliant products and resilient supply. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is named as the buyer. The procurement is for pharmaceutical goods; the scope is a supply route for imported unlicensed medicines rather than a single specified product. Suppliers should note that the consortium has revised its procurement strategy: the requirement is now intended to be procured through a framework agreement, not the Dynamic Market originally described. The work serves NHS trusts in North East England and Yorkshire.

This is at planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender. The original plan was to establish a Dynamic Market; the procurement strategy has since changed to a framework agreement, with an updated pipeline expected. The planned contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036. The buyer arranged preliminary market engagement to shape the procurement documents, including a presentation, draft specification, supplier questionnaire and formal question-and-answer period. Suppliers were asked to express interest by 12 noon on 5 May 2026, providing company details and a short account of relevant capability and experience. The engagement was for information and was not a condition of future participation. Dates and arrangements may change.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to source and supply unlicensed imported medicines to NHS standards. Suppliers will need the relevant licences and approvals, together with the permissions required to import and supply unlicensed medicines in the UK. The buyer is looking for dependable supply from trusted countries, compliance with regulatory requirements and assurance of product quality. The intended framework route is designed to support ongoing supplier admission and responsive sourcing as medicines requirements change, so suppliers able to maintain flexible, resilient supply routes may be well placed. Small and medium-sized businesses were identified as suitable for the procurement. Participation in the earlier market engagement was open to suppliers with relevant experience, but was not required to take part in the eventual procurement.
