UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, intends to procure the supply of Doxycycline 10-pack products for 2027. This is a goods requirement for pharmaceutical products, classified under CPV 33600000. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. The requirement is arranged as a single lot and is intended to support the UK public health system through the provision of doxycycline packs. Suppliers active in pharmaceutical manufacture, wholesaling, distribution or supply of doxycycline products are the most relevant potential participants. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller pharmaceutical suppliers may also find the planned procurement relevant.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, rather than an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use the Dynamic Purchasing System for Antidotes and Antibiotics, with the later tender available only to suppliers registered and accepted onto that system. The buyer plans to receive expressions of interest for the engagement by 30 November 2026 and expects the next notice to be published on 1 April 2027. The planned contract period is from 2 July 2027 to 2 July 2028. The published estimated value is £1, including VAT, and the procurement is above the applicable threshold. The procedure is under the Procurement Act 2023.

This will suit suppliers able to provide doxycycline in 10-pack pharmaceutical presentations and support supply across the United Kingdom. Relevant businesses are likely to include pharmaceutical manufacturers, licensed wholesalers, specialist distributors and suppliers with reliable access to compliant doxycycline products. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, which may make it accessible to smaller organisations with the necessary product, regulatory and distribution capability. Businesses interested in competing will need to prepare for participation in the Dynamic Purchasing System for Antidotes and Antibiotics, because only suppliers registered and accepted onto that system will be able to see the later tender. The current exercise is for market engagement and preparation, not bidding.
