This procurement, which falls under the healthcare industry category, involves a framework agreement with the option to extend by two additional years beyond the initial period from April 2026 to March 2028. The open procedure allowed for tenders from multiple UK regions and involved major suppliers such as Abbvie Ltd and Gilead Sciences Limited. The contract, awarded in early April 2026, signifies a significant investment in pharmaceutical products valued at £160 million, with the potential to reach £192 million gross. This framework offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale pharmaceutical companies equipped to provide innovative Hepatitis C treatment solutions. The open procedure facilitated a competitive tendering process, advantageous for suppliers with robust capabilities in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution. Companies with experience in handling large-scale government contracts and those aiming to enhance their market position within the NHS supply chain will find this contract particularly beneficial. SMEs with niche expertise in antiviral treatments may also find opportunities for collaboration or subcontracting within the framework's extensive scope. ## Notice Project title: NHS England procurement for the supply of Pan-genotypic Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) Hepatitis C treatments and the provision of Hepatitis C elimination initiatives commencing 1st April 2026 Offer reference number: CM/TNS/25/5737 Period of framework: 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028 with an option or options to extend (at the Authority's discretion) for a period or periods up to a total of 24 months. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Option or options to extend (at the Authority's discretion) for a period or periods up to a total of 24 months.
