Notice Information

Notice Title

HAC5363A Pharmacy Needle Exchange Service

Notice Description

The aim of the service is to provide a needle exchange and harm reduction service to Tower Hamlets residents aged 18 or over. NICE guidance published in 2014 outlines the main aim of needle and syringe programmes as "to reduce the transmission of blood-borne viruses and other infections caused by sharing injecting equipment, such as HIV, hepatitis B and C. In turn, this will reduce the prevalence of blood-borne viruses and bacterial infections, so benefiting wider society. The World Health Organisation seeks to compact Hepatitis B and C to eliminate the viral hepatitis by 2030. Many needle and syringe programmes also aim to reduce the other harms caused by drug use and include: * Advice on minimizing the harms caused by drugs * Help to stop using drugs by providing access to drug treatment (for example, opioid substitution therapy) * Access to other health and welfare services" Organisations wishing to express their interest are requested to register on the London Tenders Portal (www.londontenders.org) where the opportunity documentation will be available for download. You will be required to complete an online questionnaire. The deadline for expressing your interest and submitting your bid is 12 noon on 23rd November 2018.
