UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is procuring denosumab 60mg pre-filled syringes as pharmaceutical goods through a framework for NHS purchasing points across the East Midlands, West Midlands and East of England. The framework is being managed by NHS Medicines Value & Access within Medicines Procurement and Supply Chain. It is intended for suppliers able to provide the specified denosumab product to the listed NHS purchasing points. The requirement covers the product supply arrangements and associated framework terms, including quality assurance and pharmacy purchasing arrangements. The framework uses a reopening-of-competition model for subsequent awards, so suppliers should be prepared to compete again for individual requirements during the framework period. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to pharmaceutical manufacturers, licensed distributors and specialist medicines suppliers with the required product and NHS supply capability.

The process has reached tender: NHS England invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 13:00, and tenders by 13 October 2026 at 13:00. The intended award decision date is 27 October 2026. The framework contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 August 2027, with extensions at NHS England’s discretion for one or more periods totalling up to 16 months; the maximum stated end date is 31 December 2028. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed in English. The published lot assigns 100% weighting to price, while its wording also says price is not the only award criterion. The framework allows competition to be reopened for subsequent awards.

This opportunity suits pharmaceutical suppliers that can provide denosumab 60mg in pre-filled syringes and support supply to NHS purchasing points across three English regions. It is particularly relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist medicines distributors with reliable access to the specified product, appropriate storage and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to fulfil NHS pharmacy requirements. Bidders will need to work with the framework agreement and terms, complete the offer schedule and procurement-specific questionnaire, and address the buyer’s quality assurance process and technical quality-control requirements. The tender documents also include a pharmacy purchasing-points list, product listing and usage information, and a confidential-information schedule. The procurement is expressly suitable for SMEs, so smaller suppliers with the relevant medicines supply capability can consider competing alongside larger pharmaceutical businesses.
