Procedure type

Open procedure (above threshold)

Any interested supplier may submit a tender in response to an opportunity notice.

This procedure can be used for procurements above the relevant contract value threshold.

This is an accelerated procedure.

Justification

The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the supply of certain generic hospital only medicines where suppliers have terminated or previous tenders have been unable to secure supply, to avoid NHS resources being diverted to source alternative products and ensure continuity. This does not give sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. The Commercial Medicines Unit considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, the Commercial Medicines Unit is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation [27(5) for the open in respect of this procurement.
