UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is planning a regional supply procurement for unlicensed manufactured parenteral specials: specialist injectable medicines manufactured for individual requirements and not licensed for routine UK supply. The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium intends to source these products for NHS trusts across the region. Suppliers must provide medicines that meet UK regulatory standards, with safe and compliant supply and strong assurance of product quality. The requirement is for pharmaceutical products, rather than a service or construction project. The procurement strategy has been revised: the requirement is now intended to be procured through a framework agreement, replacing the earlier plan to use a Dynamic Market.

This process is at planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The procurement strategy has been revised from a Dynamic Market to a framework agreement. The planned contract period is 1 February 2028 to 31 January 2030, with a possible extension to 31 January 2032. The estimated value is £1,242,117,450.56 excluding VAT, or £1,490,540,940.66 including VAT. A further competition is intended under the framework, and a subsequent notice is expected by 1 March 2027; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. Preliminary market engagement was planned to inform the final specification and procurement documents, with a supplier presentation, draft specification, questionnaire and Q&A. Engagement was not a condition of future participation.

The procurement is suited to pharmaceutical manufacturers and specialist suppliers able to produce and supply unlicensed parenteral medicines for NHS trusts across the North East and Yorkshire. Suppliers will need relevant licences and approvals, as well as the permissions required to supply unlicensed medicines in the UK. The buyer is seeking safe, compliant products, dependable supply routes and robust assurance of product quality, so experience in regulated medicines manufacture and resilient supply is likely to be important. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, though suppliers still need to meet the regulatory and supply requirements. The earlier market engagement invited suppliers to share relevant experience and capability; participation in that engagement does not determine eligibility for the future procurement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NEYPPC Pharmacy - Unlicensed Manufactured Parenteral Specials

Notice Description

The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium intends to run a further competition under its established Dynamic Market for the supply of Unlicensed Manufactured Parenteral Specials. This route enables flexible, efficient and sustainable sourcing by drawing on a continuously open pool of qualified suppliers. The requirement will cover the provision of unlicensed manufactured parenteral specials, in accordance with UK regulatory standards. Suppliers will be required to hold all relevant licenses and approvals, and the necessary permissions to supply unlicensed medicines in the UK. The Dynamic Market will enable Trusts across the region to access safe, compliant, and competitively sourced unlicensed medicines, ensuring resilient supply routes and strong assurance of product quality.

Planning Information

The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium is undertaking preliminary market engagement in advance of an initial procurement under 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. Suppliers should note that this engagement is being conducted concurrently with engagement on the establishment of the Dynamic Market itself. Whilst separate notices have been issued to reflect the different stages and values, a single supplier engagement process applies to both elements. 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.
