This is an Intention to Award notice via a Competitive process placed by NHS Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (ML CSU) on behalf of the Commissioner, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB). The ICB was seeking to commission a provider to deliver end-of-life medicines and urgent community (palliative care drugs) in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Lot 1: NHS Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (ML CSU) are placing this Intention to Award notice on behalf of the Commissioner, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB). The Commissioner wishes to award a contract to a provider to deliver end-of-life medicines and urgent community treatment (palliative care drugs) in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This is a new service model that is to be commissioned following a Competitive Process conducted in line with the Provider Selection Regime for Healthcare Services 2023 which is proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract. The Provider Selection Regime applies under common procurement vocabulary (CPV) 85149000-5, as this service is not covered under the community pharmacy services that are arranged under the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/349/contents) Aims and objectives of the service: • The aim of this enhanced service is to provide service users and clinicians with prompt access to a range of palliative care and specialist medications on an urgent basis. • Improving access to End of Life (EoL) medication is also expected to reduce pressure on secondary care providers and facilitate admission avoidance. If medication needs can be met in a timely manner, more patients will be able to stay at home. • As a further system and workforce benefit, improving the processes for supply and delivery of anticipatory medications will improve productivity and morale in community nursing, community palliative care services and primary care by providing a clear and standardised pathway to obtaining these medications. • The provider must stock a range of palliative care and other specialist medication on an urgent basis. • Upon receipt of an electronic (EPS) prescription marked (in EPS script notes) for "urgent delivery", to facilitate delivery of these items to a home or care home address within LLR so that it arrives within 3 hours of receiving the EPS prescription. The ICB wishes to award one contract for a Pilot for these services.
