UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned evaluation support for antibiotic products under the antimicrobial resistance subscription model. The requirement is a health service focused on assessing antibiotic products for the subscription model tender, delivered through a memorandum of understanding with the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). NHS England is the buying organisation, and the work is associated with London-based public health bodies. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate work packages. It is relevant to organisations providing clinical, health technology assessment, medicines evaluation or specialist public health support, particularly those able to assess antibiotic products and advise on their suitability within an antimicrobial resistance funding or subscription framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS England used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition, under the stated legal basis, for a single requirement. NICE was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 June 2026 and runs from 9 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £84,704.60 excluding VAT, or £112,939.70 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated requirement is an MOU for NICE to provide evaluation support for the antimicrobial resistance subscription model tender. Evaluation criteria are not set out in the published procurement data, and the award was not divided into competitive lots.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates NHS England demand for specialist evaluation of antibiotic products within an antimicrobial resistance subscription model. A credible competitor for comparable work would need capability in health services evaluation, medicines or technology assessment, and a strong understanding of how evidence supports public funding decisions for antimicrobial products. Relevant experience would include assessing clinical and wider value, interpreting evidence on antibiotic treatments, and producing advice that can support a public-sector tender or subscription model. NICE’s role indicates that recognised expertise, analytical independence and the ability to work with a national health body are important. Organisations with established public health, clinical evaluation or health technology assessment teams are best placed.
