SEC Trusts can utilise this tender for products or services not covered by the National unlicensed aseptically prepared cytotoxic medicines and Dose banded compounded chemotherapy framework via MPSC. Please note: we did not publish a preliminary market engagement notice (UK2) for the following reasons: - we are not seeking to further develop our requirements or procurement approach. - we have procured similar supply arrangements via the Open procedure and deployed similar conditions of participation and award criteria. These have yielded good results previously. - we have already prepared our tender pack (see attached), that detail standard NHS contractual terms which have been found to be acceptable to the supply chain. - we understand the likely suppliers who will be interested but the open notice approach gives opportunity to others looking to enter the Dose banded compounded chemotherapy supply market
