NHS England’s Medicines Procurement and Supply Chain (MPSC) team seeks to procure a subscription-based information service providing comprehensive, real-time access to UK and EU patent data, proprietary Loss of Exclusivity (LoE) analysis, and forecasting for medicines, including small molecules, biologics, and clinical candidates. This resource will enable accurate identification of patent expiry opportunities, supporting strategic planning and delivery to maximise value for the NHS. Patent expiry is a critical driver of cost savings, typically reducing prices of equivalent medicines by 70–90% compared to originator products. The solution must include expert advisory support, litigation tracking, and timely updates on regulatory and market events, ensuring NHS England can adopt proactive, data-driven commercial strategies.
