Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is planning procurement on behalf of the North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium. The requirement is for unlicensed manufactured parenteral specials: medicines made for administration by injection or infusion that are not licensed in the UK. The stated purpose is to give NHS trusts across the North East and Yorkshire access to safe, compliant medicines through resilient supply routes, with assurance of product quality. The consortium’s original plan was to establish a Dynamic Market for ongoing supplier admission. It has since revised its procurement strategy and says the requirement will instead be procured through a framework agreement. The work therefore concerns the supply of medicines to NHS trusts across the North East and Yorkshire, rather than the provision of pharmacy or manufacturing services.

This is at the planning stage; there is no invitation to tender. The consortium has changed its intended route from a Dynamic Market to a framework agreement, and says an updated pipeline will follow. The planning information gives 3 November 2026 as the expected date for a future notice; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The earlier plan showed a contract period from 1 March 2027 to 1 March 2037, with possible extension to 28 February 2047, but those dates relate to the superseded Dynamic Market strategy and should not be treated as confirmed framework dates. The procurement is planned as an open competition, but the framework procedure and its detailed terms are not yet set out. The published estimate is £0, so it does not indicate the likely contract value. A single lot was planned.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to provide unlicensed manufactured parenteral medicines to NHS trusts across the North East and Yorkshire. The consortium says suppliers will need all relevant licences and approvals, as well as the permissions required to supply unlicensed medicines in the UK. The stated priorities are safe and compliant supply, product-quality assurance, resilient supply routes and competitive sourcing in a changing medicines landscape. Suppliers with relevant medicines supply capability and the regulatory authorisations to meet these requirements are best placed to prepare for the revised framework approach. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable in the earlier single-lot plan; that indication may need revisiting following the change from a Dynamic Market to a framework. The procurement remains in preparation, not open for bids.

Planning Information

The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to the establishment of a Dynamic Market for the supply of Unlicensed Manufactured Parenteral Specials. The purpose of this engagement is to gather supplier feedback to help inform the final design and documentation. As part of this exercise, the Purchasing Consortium is also seeking early market engagement to support a future procurement under the Dynamic Market. Although separate notices are being published for transparency and validation purposes, suppliers should note that a single engagement process will cover both the establishment of the Dynamic Market and the initial mini competition opportunity. This engagement is being conducted in accordance with procurement regulations and is for information and engagement only. Participation in this preliminary market engagement is not a condition of participation in the future Dynamic Market. Interested suppliers will be invited to take part in the following activities: 1. A supplier engagement presentation held on 24th June 2026, 2pm-3pm. 2. Sharing of a draft specification. 3. Completion of a supplier questionnaire. 4. A formal Q&A window during which suppliers may submit clarification questions. This will be anonymised, consolidated and shared with all interested suppliers. Suppliers interested in participating in this preliminary market engagement should express their interest by email to leedsth-tr.neyregionalcontracting@nhs.net, by 12:00 on the 19th June 2026. Emails must include the following information: - Supplier organisation name, registered address and company registration number. - Primary contact name, email address and telephone number. - A brief summary of the suppliers relevant experience/capability in relation to the proposed Dynamic Market scope. Indicative timelines for this engagement and the subsequent Dynamic Market and mini-competition are set out in the engagement presentation and are subject to change.
