Tender description

The current contract is due to expire on 31 July 2026. In order to maintain continuity of patient care and ensure uninterrupted product and service delivery, EMPC intends to extend the existing agreements with the current Awarded Suppliers beyond this date on an interim basis. EMPC has explored the option of accessing an alternative Hub Framework; however, this approach has proven unsuccessful. As a result, a new competitive procurement exercise is required. The new tender is planned for publication in summer 2026 and will include premarket engagement in line with procurement best practice. The interim extension will be limited in scope and duration to the minimum necessary to complete the new procurement. This Contract has been awarded to: B Braun Medical Ltd Baxter Healthcare Ltd Fresenius Kabi Ltd ITH Pharma Ltd

About the buyer

NHS England runs the NHS in England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation with its own team of procurement professionals. Every tender is advertised on Atamis, the NHS's single eCommercial system, and larger contracts appear on Find a Tender. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Clinical services are commissioned directly or through the Provider Selection Regime. Seven regional teams support the commissioning of healthcare services across the country. The central commercial function that develops procurement strategy for the whole NHS sits here.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS England's contract awards have been in education and training, health and social work, and IT services.
