CCS are a forward-thinking and innovative NHS trust seeking a similarly innovative and enthusiastic supplier partner to collaboratively deliver high quality pharmacy services to patients across Cambridgeshire as well as Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes for some services. <br/>The requirement is multi-faceted and notably includes:<br/>• Supply of stock medicines for clinical services across the footprint of the Trust, including integrated Contraception and Sexual Health (iCaSH) clinics, Dental Services, Eye Services, Dynamic Health (musculoskeletal - MSK), Children and Adult Community Health Services and prison services.<br/>• Supply of a range of pre-packed medicines and over-labelled medicines. <br/>• Dispensing of medicines to patients. In particular, dispensing of anti-retrovirals (ARVs) for the HIV clinics, including a clinical check by a specialist pharmacist, for collection by patients from the respective HIV clinics.<br/>• Home delivery of dispensed medicines to the patients’ home or other authorised delivery address within the UK.<br/>• Provision of financial management, prescription activity and clinical management information monthly, or as required.<br/>CCS presently expect the service will be best served by a single supplier partner, or consortia bid, though are keen to maximise the opportunity for competition in the best interest of patients and for potential suppliers to engage in response to this PIN with alternative approaches. As a potential alternative, CCS have included a prospective lot structure which may be used where supplier response to this PIN indicates significant additional competition via this approach:<br/>• Lot 1 - Provision of Homecare services to HIV patients across iCaSH geography (excl. Milton Keynes)<br/>• Lot 2 - Provision of dispensed medicines (mainly ART) and over-labelled ART packs across iCaSH geography (excl. Milton Keynes)<br/>• Lot 3 - Provision of non-ART stock and over-labelled packs, and HIV PrEP and PEP across CCS footprint<br/>• Lot 4 - Provision of services in Lots 2 and 3 across CCST footprint<br/>• Lot 5 - Provision of services in Lots 1, 2 and 3 across CCST footprint<br/>The minimum initial fixed term contract duration shall be 3 years with an optional 12 month extension period. CCS are interest to hear from potential suppliers whether a longer fixed term (e.g. 5 years) may be considered advantageous.<br/>CCS require service commencement by the preferred bidder in April 2025 and the procurement timeline can be flexed to include an extended implementation period to enable a prospective bidder to secure relevant licensing (e.g. WDA) where required.<br/><br/>Suppliers are encouraged to express interest via Atamis and complete the associate RFI by 1st March 2024.
