Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is buying lenvatinib, a pharmaceutical medicine, through a national framework for supply to NHS pharmacy purchasing points. The procurement is managed by NHS England’s Medicines Procurement and Supply Chain team. Delivery is across the North East, North West, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West of England. The requirement is for suppliers able to provide the medicine to the participating NHS purchasing points; the framework documents describe the detailed operating requirements and product listing.

NHS England invited offers through an open procedure. This is a framework agreement with further competition when individual contracts are awarded. The requirement is divided into three regional lots: CESW, NWLN and LSNE. Enquiries were due by 23 October 2026 at 13:00; tenders were due by 30 October 2026 at 14:00. The evaluation period was due to end on 25 November 2026. The stated framework periods begin on 1 June 2027: 20 months for Lot 1, 16 months for Lot 2 and 12 months for Lot 3, with extensions at the authority’s discretion of up to 24 months. The estimated value for Lot 1 is £35,833,000 excluding VAT (£42,999,600 including VAT). Price is not the only award criterion; the published weighting is 100%.

This opportunity is for pharmaceutical suppliers able to supply lenvatinib to NHS purchasing points across several English regions. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for Lot 1. Suppliers should be prepared to meet the framework’s quality assurance and quality-control requirements and to complete the procurement questionnaire and offer schedules. The purchasing model is a national framework, with competition reopened for subsequent awards, so bidders need the capacity to support NHS pharmacy buyers under the framework arrangements as well as to compete for later requirements. The supplied information does not describe specific manufacturing, licensing, or prior-experience thresholds, so the framework documentation is the source for assessing those requirements.
