Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is procuring a home delivery service for people with lysosomal storage disorders under a national framework covering England and Scotland. The service involves delivering treatment to patients at home, rather than providing general medical homecare. NHS England is the buying organisation. Delivery is required across England and Scotland. The framework is intended for use by participating public authorities; the list of authorities is set out in the procurement documents. Suppliers should assess whether they can provide a dependable home delivery service for this specialist patient group across the stated geography, and whether their operating model can serve the participating authorities through the framework’s call-off arrangements.

NHS England invited offers through an open procedure for a single-lot framework agreement. The tender was issued on 23 September 2026, with updated tender documents subsequently attached. The deadline for questions was 15 October 2026 at 13:00; bids were due by 22 October 2026 at 13:00. The stated framework period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2029, with extension options at the authority’s discretion for up to 24 months in total. The estimated value is £43,666,348 excluding VAT (£52,399,617.60 including VAT). Price is weighted at 100% in the published award criteria, with the detailed assessment tool in the procurement documents. The framework permits competition to be reopened when awarding call-off contracts.

The opportunity suits providers able to deliver specialist homecare for people with lysosomal storage disorders across a broad England and Scotland footprint. A single lot covers the service, so suppliers need the operational reach and capacity to serve the participating authorities through one framework arrangement. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially accessible to specialist or regional providers as well as larger operators, provided they can meet the service requirements. Suppliers should be prepared to compete again when individual call-off contracts are awarded, rather than relying on automatic allocation of work from framework appointment. The stated award basis makes competitive pricing central to the initial framework assessment; suppliers should consult the procurement documents for the detailed evaluation tool and the service operating requirements.
