Tendering of Branded Medicines
• Historically conducted at SHA level
• NHS CMU conducts all tenders – excluding Y&H
therapeutic tender
• 2011 – now national contract for agreed list of
branded medicines - covers all England including
Y&H
• Contract commences 1st Dec 2011 for 2 years
with an option to extend for a further 2 years
• Therapeutic tenders at SHA level – usually 1 year
with option to extend for a further 1 year
What is Therapeutic tendering
• The tendering of medicines within specific
therapeutic classes
• Although not all medicines are the same they can
have similar efficacy, safety profiles and clinical
evidence
• Stakeholder engagement and robust clinical
evaluations are key to therapeutic tendering
• Suppliers have the opportunity to tender
differential pricing on volumes within a
therapeutic market
• Suppliers – risks and opportunities

therapeutic tendering models
• Clinical input into decision making
• Formation of agreed clinical guidelines
• Provide NHS trusts with projected cost efficiency
savings
• Recommendations to NHS trusts on how to implement
locally
• Regular monthly tracking of volumes, savings and lost
opportunity data
