BNF Storage and Distribution Provision
Notice Description
NICE is responsible for guidance to healthcare professionals working within the English NHS. This comes in the form of three print publications; the British National Formulary (BNF) and the British National Formulary for Children (BNFC), which are distributed annually and the Nurse Prescribers Formulary (NPF) which is distributed biennially (every two years). In this document the BNF, BNFC and NPF will be described collectively as the 'BNF Publications'. Distribution of all the BNF Publications takes place during October and November. Collectively 318,393 of these publications were distributed to the English NHS in 2018/19. Further information on the BNF print publications is available on the BNF website (https://www.bnf.org/products/books/). The criteria describing which Healthcare Professionals are eligible to receive the print BNF, BNFC and NPF is available on the NICE website (https://www.nice.org.uk/About/What-we-do/Evidence-Services/British-National-Formulary). The Storage and Distribution Provider will be responsible for: * Taking delivery of, storing, and distributing the BNF Publications to eligible healthcare professionals; * Providing a service to manage enquiries from customers regarding distribution of the BNF publications; * Liaising with the Mailing Database Provider that manages the mailing database for the BNF Publications, which includes all NHS staff who meet the eligibility criteria. [The Mailing Database Provider is the point of contact for eligibility criteria and customer data collation, and will provide updated mailing lists.] * Storage and distribution of any returned stock of each publication in between annual distributions in order to satisfy ad hoc orders.
