## Summary

NHS England has completed an open procedure tender for the NHS National Framework for the supply of Ustekinumab, covering regions across London, South of England, North of England and Midlands & East. This procurement, classified under the pharmaceutical products category (CPV 33600000), had a tender period ending on 1 July 2024 and a contract period from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2026, with possible extensions for up to an additional 24 months. The total value of the contract is £230,000,000 GBP. The awarded contract was published on 12 September 2024, and the project involves the delivery of Ustekinumab to multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including East Midlands, East of England, and Yorkshire and the Humber, among others.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs, to supply the NHS with high-demand pharmaceutical products, thereby contributing significantly to their growth and market presence. With a substantial contract value and a broad geographical scope, companies specialising in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, particularly those capable of delivering to the specified UK regions, are well-suited to benefit from this tender. The engaged suppliers, such as Amgen Ltd, Sandoz Ltd, and Thornton and Ross Ltd, highlight the diverse scale of companies involved, indicating openings for both large enterprises and smaller, more agile SMEs within the pharmaceutical industry.
