## Summary

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for liquid nitrogen, which is intended for clinical and laboratory use in fields such as dermatology, oncology, and biobanking. This procurement falls under the industry category of pharmaceutical products and is situated in London, United Kingdom. The process may lead to the establishment of a framework agreement or a Dynamic Market, with a contract period starting on 2nd January 2027, extending to 3rd January 2029, and potentially extending further. While the procurement is still planned, key decision points include internal approvals by the LPP Executive and adherence to NHSE Commercial Efficiencies Optimisation Programme guidelines. Prospective notices are expected to be published by 30th September 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of medical and laboratory goods, particularly those specialising in chemical and pharmaceutical products, to expand their market presence within the NHS framework. The procurement specifically encourages participation from SMEs, suggesting that smaller enterprises with innovative solutions or cost-effective offerings might find this a suitable opportunity to gain a foothold in the public sector market. By aligning with the planned procurement and framework agreements, businesses can potentially secure long-term contracts and enhance their credentials in public sector collaborations.

## Notice

NHS LPP is assessing the feasibility of establishing a framework agreement or Dynamic Market for the provision of liquid nitrogen used in clinical and laboratory settings, including dermatology, oncology, fertility, pathology, histopathology, and biobanking. Final structure and progression will depend on assessed market needs. This procurement will be subject to subsequent approvals from the internal LPP Executive, NHSE Commercial Efficiencies Optimisation Programme and Cabinet Office Spend Controls
