This procurement, categorised under pharmaceutical products, is valued at £35 million and aims to establish a mechanism for emergency stockpiling over a 10-year period, resulting in multiple call-off contracts. The tender period is set to close on 22nd March 2021, with the contract period starting on 1st April 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2031. The procurement is being executed through a selective method under a restricted procedure due to its substantial scale. This tender presents considerable growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in pharmaceutical products or related services. Companies capable of providing high-quality antidotes and antibiotics, or those with innovative approaches to efficient stockpiling and delivery mechanisms, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Engaging with this tender allows suppliers to not only expand their market reach within the healthcare sector but also to contribute significantly to public health preparedness strategies within the UK. ## Notice The establishment of a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to allow for the purchase and stockpile of antidotes and antibiotics for the use in the event of an emergency. The dynamic purchasing system (DPS) shall be valid for up to a period of 10 years resulting with a number specific call-off contracts being awarded as appropriate. To create the DPS the first round of expression of interest/SQ submissions shall be open for a period of 30 days, thereafter SQ submissions can be submitted at any time over the life of the DPS arrangement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3f0bce-092c-4053-926f-333f7c4dab1a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 22 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE ACTING AS PART OF THE CROWN THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND | | Locality | RUNCORN | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA7 2ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | Halton | | Electoral ward | Halton Lea | | Westminster constituency | Runcorn and Helsby | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33600000 - Pharmaceutical products ## Release History - 25 Feb 2021 at 10:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3f0bce-092c-4053-926f-333f7c4dab1a - 18 Feb 2021 at 09:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1054da0-412a-4939-a524-cdeaee786ec2 - 17 Feb 2021 at 08:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/88211d3f-406b-4e7a-a126-5bc1196044bb - 17 Feb 2021 at 08:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d18cef-6e2c-4287-9c91-5bfc1cd43aac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3f0bce-092c-4053-926f-333f7c4dab1a 25th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1054da0-412a-4939-a524-cdeaee786ec2 18th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/88211d3f-406b-4e7a-a126-5bc1196044bb 17th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d18cef-6e2c-4287-9c91-5bfc1cd43aac 17th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000kGfv/H7BS2nNNMjd_hGMgwEjJegLeWwHmJcv36N5IPiFvCP4 ITO template docs_CM_EMP_21_21025 - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000kGfq/8EAmoX_XrkmDyNfmRFXjUNmAiUKJHzsnkBbNFU082jo SQ documents CM_EMP_21_21025_CF - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000kGg0/FaMluEOaoTBAfnClOSqiFwkeDhaxchPiOqbaWNNfJkY Published FTS notice - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000kGkg/jp.dv.S4BqSGgFC0qmZaD.VuSyC_e3PHjFmt8HbO668 SQ documents CM_EMP_21_21025_CF ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
