## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has recently completed a procurement process titled "Promising treatments decision maker," aimed at developing a framework for recommending drug procurement and manufacture related to COVID-19 treatments. This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and has a total contract value of £164,550. The contract period is set from 3rd June 2020 to 30th June 2020, and the procurement method was a selective procedure due to its scale and requirements. The tender process concluded on 1st June 2020, which aligns with the decision-making framework's initiation to support clinical assessments.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, particularly those capable of contributing to decision-making frameworks or providing relevant expertise in COVID-19 treatments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be particularly well-suited to compete, as they can bring innovative solutions and specialised knowledge to support the procurement and manufacturing of essential drugs. Engaging with this procurement process could help businesses expand their operational footprint and establish valuable relationships within the health sector.

## Notice

A framework that will inform recommendations to ministers on the procurement and manufacture of drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, potentially incurring significant expenditure at risk. This decision-making framework will be used alongside the clinical expertise already available to the department such as the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Deputy Chief Medical Officer's (DCMO) assessment of treatments data.
