Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is planning a regional purchasing route for unlicensed parenteral nutrition, a specialist pharmaceutical product used to provide nutrition intravenously. The North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium intends to make the products available to NHS trusts across the region, supporting safe supply and assurance of product quality. The procurement covers supply of the medicines, rather than clinical services or manufacture. The buyer’s planning description initially referred to a dynamic market, but the procurement strategy has since been revised and the requirement is now intended to be procured through a framework agreement.

This process is at planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected route has changed from a dynamic market to a framework agreement. The planned contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2037. No estimated contract value or budget is stated. The planning entry identifies one lot and records the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buyer has not set out evaluation criteria or a response timetable. The requirement is to be procured under the revised strategy, with an updated pipeline expected to follow; the dates are planning expectations, not a deadline for bids.

This is a potential fit for pharmaceutical suppliers able to supply unlicensed parenteral nutrition to NHS trusts across North East and Yorkshire. Suppliers will need to hold all relevant licences and approvals, as well as the permissions required to supply unlicensed medicines in the UK, and to meet applicable UK regulatory standards. The buyer is seeking safe, compliant products, reliable supply routes and strong assurance of product quality. The region-wide scope and long planned contract period point to a requirement for dependable supply capability and capacity to support multiple trusts over time. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable, but the stated regulatory and supply requirements are central to assessing whether a supplier is well placed to participate once the framework procurement reaches market.
