UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, intends to buy radiopharmaceuticals for use in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). The medicines and related radiodiagnostic supplies are for Health Boards and NHS trusts across Wales. This is a supply contract rather than a service or construction project, with delivery across Wales. The procurement is being undertaken on behalf of the Welsh health boards and trusts, so suppliers should be able to provide products for use across multiple healthcare organisations. The stated purpose is to support PET-CT imaging; the specific products and quantities are expected to be set out when the tender is published.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish the tender on 29 October 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. It expects to use a framework agreement and has divided the procurement into one lot. The planned contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2031. The estimated value is £16,238,200 excluding VAT (£19,485,840 including VAT). The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers were advised that there is no formal market-engagement process; the planning notice invited those seeking further information to contact the buyer before publication.

This procurement is relevant to pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors able to supply radiopharmaceuticals for PET-CT imaging to NHS organisations across Wales. The buyer has identified a multi-organisation healthcare requirement, so suppliers should consider whether they can meet the breadth and continuity of supply needed across the Welsh health boards and trusts. The single-lot structure may suit suppliers able to cover the full requirement, while the stated SME suitability indicates that smaller businesses are considered capable of participating. The buyer has not yet set out product-level specifications or supplier qualification requirements in this planning information, so firms in the relevant radiopharmaceutical supply market should review the tender when it is published to assess technical, regulatory and delivery requirements before deciding whether to compete.
