This process is registered under the pharmaceutical products category and is set in London, UK. The engagement period for suppliers will conclude on 31st March 2022. Key dates include the upcoming market engagement webinar on 16th December 2021, and suppliers are encouraged to submit their expressions of interest and completed questionnaires by 23rd December 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those specialising in therapeutic products aimed at combating COVID-19. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in clinical trials, safety monitoring, and regulatory compliance are well-positioned to compete. Suppliers interested in providing neutralising antibodies and related treatments for COVID-19 should take advantage of this engagement to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure contracts for both immediate and future needs. ## Notice DHSC invites suppliers to submit an EOI on neutralising antibodies and binding site, clinical trials on efficacy, safety for preventing or treating COVID-19 infection, dose&frequency, formats/routes for administering to patients, monitoring adverse affects, efficacy against SARSCoV- 2 variants, supply availability for 2021- 2022 and future years and plans for regulatory approval in the UK, if not yet approved. **Updated information on 9th December 2021** The Therapeutics Taskforce is responsible for the end-to-end provision of treatments for COVID-19 in the UK, from the initial identification of potential therapeutics, to trialing treatments as part of an advanced programme of clinical trials, and their eventual deployment at scale to the patient population. These safe and effective treatments are vital for lessening the severity and impact of COVID-19 in individuals and communities. The Taskforce is seeking to gather information in respect of neutralising antibodies that can be deployed in a hospital or community setting. Therapeutics suppliers must provide evidence of their therapies' potential efficacy and progress in trials, monitoring and safety. The market engagement will take the form of a webinar held on Thursday 16th December 2021. The webinar will take interested suppliers through the requirement outlined in this Prior Information Notice and will provide an opportunity for suppliers to ask questions.
