UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is planning a regional procurement on behalf of the North East and Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium for unlicensed parenteral nutrition medicines. Parenteral nutrition provides nutrition directly into the bloodstream for patients who cannot meet their nutritional needs through eating or digestion. The requirement is for the supply of these medicines to NHS trusts across the North East and Yorkshire, with an emphasis on safe, compliant products and resilient supply routes. This is pharmaceutical supply rather than a clinical service or construction project. The procurement is intended to draw on qualified medicine suppliers and support trusts in sourcing unlicensed products in line with UK regulatory standards.

This is at planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. An earlier proposed route was a further competition through an established Dynamic Market; the procurement strategy has since been revised and the requirement is now intended to be procured through a framework agreement. A further procurement notice is expected by 1 June 2027. The planned contract period is 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2029, with possible extension to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £62,818,347.44 excluding VAT (£75,382,016.94 including VAT). The procurement is planned as a single lot and is described as a competitive flexible procedure. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This requirement is relevant to pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialist suppliers and distributors able to provide unlicensed parenteral nutrition medicines to NHS trusts across the 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. The buyer emphasises regulatory compliance, product quality assurance and dependable supply, so businesses with robust quality systems and the capacity to support resilient regional supply routes are likely to be well placed. The planned lot is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, alongside larger suppliers. The buyer has not yet set out detailed technical specifications or evaluation weightings; suppliers can use the planning period to assess their authorisations, product range and ability to meet NHS assurance requirements.
