The core requirement is an established cyclotron-based radiopharmacy producing labelled radioisotopes for cancer diagnosis and treatment, a technetium-99m radiopharmacy service supplied by generator or cyclotron, and a service providing lutetium-177 radiopharmaceuticals. The wider potential scope includes licensed radiopharmaceuticals and PET radiotracers, generators and consumables, radiopharmacy support, quality assurance and regulatory compliance, logistics and delivery, waste management and disposal, and equipment maintenance where applicable. The service may also need to accommodate future expansion for emerging treatments. The work is for the Trust’s services in the Clatterbridge area of Bebington. This is at the planning stage: the Trust is seeking supplier interest and feedback to shape its requirements, and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to hold pre-market engagement, potentially online or on site, after interested suppliers complete a questionnaire. Expressions of interest are expected by 10 November 2026; this is an engagement date, not a bid deadline. The Trust expects the next procurement notice around 1 April 2027. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2028 to 1 April 2038, with dates still estimated and subject to confirmation as procurement progresses. The procurement is planned as a single lot. The estimated value is above the applicable threshold, but no amount is stated. No award criteria or selection requirements have yet been set out. The engagement is relevant to radiopharmacy providers able to deliver a dependable, established service for cancer diagnostics and therapy, particularly suppliers with cyclotron-based isotope production and the capacity to provide technetium-99m and lutetium-177 radiopharmaceuticals. Suppliers with a broader offer across licensed products, PET tracers, generators, consumables and radiopharmacy support may also have useful input. The potential scope could suit organisations able to manage quality assurance and regulatory compliance alongside specialist logistics, delivery, radioactive waste handling and disposal, and equipment maintenance. The Trust is also interested in feedback that will inform the service requirements, including the possibility of supporting emerging treatments in future. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are marked as suitable for the planned lot; these suitability indications do not establish technical qualifications or guarantee that a supplier can meet the eventual requirements. This is preparation and market engagement, not a bid opportunity at this stage. ## Notice The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust requires a Radiopharmaceuticals Service Solution to support Nuclear Medicine, PET-CT and associated diagnostic and therapeutic services.
