## Summary

The NHS England is currently at the award stage of the procurement process for the contract titled “Provision of a New Antimicrobial to the NHS in England.” This procurement, valued at approximately £100 million, involves the supply of a newly licensed antimicrobial effective against pathogens highlighted by the World Health Organisation. The contract began on 1st July 2022, with a primary duration of three years and the potential to extend up to an additional seven years. Key details include the delivery address in England, located at LS2 7UE, and the procurement method employed was selective through a competitive dialogue process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, particularly those specialising in anti-infectives. Companies with existing EU-licensed antimicrobials set to launch in the UK between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2020 are ideally suited to compete. Collaborating with NHS England can enable suppliers to build long-term partnerships, enhancing their market presence while contributing to public health initiatives across England.
