## Summary

The NHS London Procurement Partnership is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Liquid Nitrogen," focused on delivering pharmaceutical products. This process, initiated as an open procedure above threshold, is located in London, United Kingdom, with key delivery areas including postal code SE1 2ND. A planned procurement notice was published on 23rd May 2025, with future notices anticipated by 1st April 2026. The proposed contract period is set to begin on 2nd January 2027 and conclude on 3rd January 2029. This initiative is particularly directed towards addressing requirements in clinical and laboratory settings, including fields like dermatology, oncology, and biobanking.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the production or supply of pharmaceutical goods. The open procurement method provides a competitive opportunity for businesses to engage with large-scale health projects, potentially enhancing market reach and credibility. The framework agreement or dynamic market being considered will necessitate versatility and specialisation, making it an ideal opportunity for companies with expertise in clinical or laboratory supplies. Engaging with this opportunity can help these businesses strengthen their foothold in the public sector, aligning with the NHS's operational standards and expanding service offerings.

## Notice

NHS LPP is assessing the feasibility of establishing a framework agreement or Dynamic Market for the provision of liquid nitrogen used in clinical and laboratory settings, including dermatology, oncology, fertility, pathology, histopathology, and biobanking. Final structure and progression will depend on assessed market needs. This procurement will be subject to subsequent approvals from the internal LPP Executive, NHSE Commercial Efficiencies Optimisation Programme and Cabinet Office Spend Controls
