## Summary

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Provision of Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) treatment". This procurement focuses on the healthcare industry, specifically the provision of medications like Bedaquiline and Delamanid for patients suffering from MDR-TB and XDR-TB across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and London. The engagement end date for this notice is set for 23rd February 2018, with vital submissions due by noon on 2nd February 2016. This opportunity follows previous announcements and enables additional providers to express their interest in participating. 

Businesses that specialise in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in pharmaceutical provision and drug treatment, are strongly encouraged to consider this opportunity as a means of growth. Companies able to supply the requisite drugs for patients with complex tuberculosis cases, especially those familiar with antibiotic resistance challenges, will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement may allow businesses to expand their market presence while contributing to critical healthcare outcomes in the UK.

## Notice

NHS England are inviting Expressions of Interests from suitably experienced, competent and skilled providers wishing to demonstrate compliance with the requirements as set out in this notice for the provision of Bedaquiline and Delamanid for defined patients with Multidrug-Resistant / Extensively Drug-resistant Tuberculosis . This opportunity was also advertised during December 2015 (OJEU reference: 2015/S243-441645). However, this is an additional notice for the same procurement exercise in order to allow a more reasonable time for interested providers to express their interest. Providers who expressed their interest in the original notice do not need to express their interest again in order to be considered) Drug resistance represents a major challenge to TB control. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of tuberculosis that is resistant to, at least two anti- TB drugs, rifampicin and isoniazid; extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a form of TB that is MDR TB with additional resistance to any fluoroquinolone and to at least one of three injectable anti-TB drugs (i.e., kanamycin, capreomycin, or amikacin), and associated with high mortality, particularly among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). NHS England will commission a provider(s) of bedaquiline and delamanid as an adjuvant for the treatment of proven multi-drug resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR- and XDR-TB) for adult patients who have proven MDR- or XDR-TB and where there is documented evidence of resistance to fluoroquinolones or intolerance to second line drugs. If your organisation expect to meet these requirements then you must register your interest by accessing the Arden & GEM Bravo Solutions e-procurement portal and by downloading the "NHS England - MDRXDRTB" Expression of Interest Proforma' at the following address: https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk All interested providers must respond to this expression of interest in order to participate in the procurement process, unless you responded to the original notice. Interested providers must ensure they meet the relevant criteria in order to express their interest. Please respond by 12 noon on the 2nd February 2016
