UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England intends to establish a national framework for supplying pertuzumab, a pharmaceutical medicine, for NHS use. Deliveries are planned across North East England, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the West Midlands, the East of England, the South East and the South West. The procurement is for goods and is being managed by NHS England. It is planned as a single-lot framework arrangement, covering the supply of pertuzumab rather than a broader range of medicines or services.

The process is at planning stage: NHS England has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The expected framework period is 1 August 2027 to 31 August 2028, with options to extend by up to 24 months in total. The estimated value is £8.64 million excluding VAT (£10.368 million including VAT). NHS England expects to publish a further notice by 11 December 2026. It plans virtual preliminary market-engagement meetings, with registration expected by 13 November 2026. These sessions are intended to cover timelines, product details, launches during the proposed framework period, tender structure and performance indicators. The framework procedure and evaluation basis have not yet been set out.

The procurement is likely to suit current suppliers of pertuzumab and potential new suppliers planning to launch any of the molecules that will be covered. NHS England has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable for the procurement. Suppliers with a planned product launch during the framework period may find the planned market-engagement discussions particularly relevant, since NHS England intends to discuss product details, launch timing, framework structure and performance indicators. The buyer is seeking supplier input while shaping the procurement, so businesses able to explain their product plans and participate in those discussions are well placed to prepare. The work concerns supplying a medicine through a national NHS framework.
