Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured Breyanzi CAR T-cell therapy, a pharmaceutical product supplied directly to support cancer treatment. The goods were commissioned via NHS England. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the listed delivery location in the North West of England. The procurement covers a single lot. The product is supplied by the manufacturer, Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals Limited. The award and contract value are £140,250. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 8 to 9 October 2026. The Trust used a direct award, stating that NHS England commissioned the service and that there was only one supplier. The stated rationale was technical reasons associated with a single supplier. The procurement consisted of one lot, and the listed award was for pharmaceutical products. A second award and contract entry names the same supplier, but gives a value of £0 and no further award details.

This award shows demand from The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust for direct supply of Breyanzi CAR T-cell therapy, commissioned via NHS England. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need access to this specific pharmaceutical product and the ability to supply it directly within the NHS commissioning arrangement. The buyer used a single-supplier direct award, so competing on price or general pharmaceutical distribution alone would not address the stated basis for this outcome. Suppliers should assess whether they can provide the product and meet the commissioning and supply route required for this treatment. The procurement provides evidence of a tightly focused, specialist medicine requirement rather than a broad pharmaceutical supply contract.
