## Summary

NHS England is consulting the market on pulsed field ablation (PFA) products for treating atrial fibrillation. The procurement is expected to cover medical devices and consumables used in this treatment, including cardiac devices and catheters. The consultation is intended to inform NHS England’s commercial strategy for PFA. NHS England is the buying organisation. The goods are for use in NHS care; the procurement data does not identify a specific delivery site or geographic area. The stated scope therefore concerns suppliers involved in cardiac ablation technology, rather than general medical equipment suppliers without relevant products or expertise.

This is at the planning stage: NHS England is conducting preliminary market consultation, not inviting tenders. The buyer’s notice describes a request for information questionnaire for suppliers to respond to through its e-sourcing portal. Market engagement is scheduled to run to 30 October 2026. A further notice is projected for 1 January 2027, but contracting dates remain undefined. The data gives a nominal value of £1, while NHS England says the financial envelope has yet to be defined, so this is not a meaningful estimate of contract value. One lot is planned, with a projected contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. No award procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage.

The consultation is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of pulsed field ablation systems and associated cardiac products, including catheters, cardiac surgery devices, cardiovascular equipment and medical consumables. NHS England is seeking market input to shape its commercial approach, so suppliers with direct experience of PFA for atrial fibrillation will be best placed to explain product capabilities, clinical use and supply considerations. The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers should use the consultation to prepare to engage with NHS England’s future procurement; the current process is for market consultation, not a tender bid.
