UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Swindon, has concluded its procurement process for supplying Pre-Prepared Radiopharmaceutical Kits, crucial for nuclear medicine diagnostics, particularly cancer pathways. This direct procurement, titled "Supply of Pre-Pared Radiopharmaceuticals," follows a method below the threshold without competition, involving a contract set to start on 1st June 2026 and end on 31st May 2027. The procurement is categorised under pharmaceutical products and involves the daily supply and delivery to ensure time-sensitive procedures are supported, with a strict delivery deadline by 7:00 am each day due to the products' rapid decay. The procurement award, valued at £119,288.4 gross, is pending finalisation, with all contractual obligations set to complete by the milestone date of 29th May 2026.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses capable of handling time-sensitive pharmaceutical supplies, specifically those specialising in radiopharmaceuticals. Companies with a strong logistical framework for daily deliveries within the UK and expertise in handling radioactive materials would find this procurement particularly suitable. The type of businesses likely to excel in such contracts are those with existing capabilities in the healthcare sector, particularly in nuclear medicine, offering growth through strategic collaboration with large-scale NHS Trusts such as the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.

The service is critical to the delivery of time-sensitive diagnostic procedures, particularly those related to cancer pathways. Due to the nature of the product - radioactive isotopes with rapid decay - the supply is geographically restricted and must adhere to extremely tight production and delivery timelines.
