Summary of the contracting process

North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC), on behalf of NHS Procurement in Partnership, plans a framework for radiopharmaceuticals and related consumables. The supplies will support NHS trusts’ nuclear medicine therapy, diagnostic procedures that do not use imaging, and imaging-based diagnostics. The framework is intended as a single procurement route for these products and associated consumables. The partnership includes procurement hubs covering East of England, NHS Commercial Solutions, London and the North of England. The stated delivery area is the United Kingdom. The goods include radioisotopes and related nuclear medicine products such as technetium, gallium and molybdenum, alongside radiotherapy supplies. Suppliers active in the manufacture, distribution or supply of radiopharmaceuticals and related consumables are the most directly relevant.

This is at the planning stage: NOE CPC has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use an open procedure to establish a framework agreement. The buyer expects to publish the next notice by 1 June 2027. The planned framework period is 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2031. Its estimated value is £70 million excluding VAT (£84 million including VAT). NOE CPC is conducting preliminary market engagement to inform development of the framework. Suppliers are invited to register interest and comment through a survey covering a draft specification and social value questions by 9 October 2026 at 12 noon; meetings may be arranged before the end of December 2026. Engagement feedback will not be scored or affect any future tender or award.

This will suit suppliers able to provide a dependable supply of radiopharmaceuticals and associated consumables for NHS nuclear medicine services. Relevant capabilities include supporting therapy, diagnostic work both with and without imaging, and supplying products such as radioisotopes, technetium, gallium and molybdenum. The buyer describes a framework intended to provide a single route for trusts and refers to the previous framework’s high level of service and supply throughout its term, indicating that reliable ongoing delivery will matter. Suppliers with capacity to serve NHS trusts across the United Kingdom are well placed. The planned market survey offers a chance to comment on the draft specification and social value questions before the procurement is developed further. No specific accreditations or technical qualification thresholds are set out at this planning stage.
