Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is seeking tenders for the provision of Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) for young women under 25 years of age. This procurement is classified under Health and social work services and will take place in specific wards throughout Leicester, United Kingdom. The procurement, using an open procedure, is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 8th March 2019. The anticipated duration of the Framework Agreement is four years, beginning on 1st April 2019 and concluding on 31st March 2023, with an estimated contract value of £240,000 for the entire period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for pharmacies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with the public health sector. Given the focus on specific wards in Leicester and the potential for increased service demand during the contract period, businesses well-versed in health service delivery and community engagement will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the possibility for the Authority to revisit and expand the Framework mid-contract offers further avenues for growth for interested parties.

Notice Title

ASC0235 - Provision of Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) to young women under 25 years of age

Notice Description

Leicester City Council (the "Authority") invites Tenders for the provision of Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) to young women under 25 years of age. The Authority proposes to award Framework Agreements to the successful community pharmacies located in specific wards of Leicester city where young people seem to prefer to access pharmacies in close proximity to the City centre and the two universities. The Authority anticipates to award Framework Agreements to the successful Tenderers who will have the community pharmacies (up to 13 in total overall) located in the following wards of the Leicester city: Abbey Ward= 1 ; Beaumont Leys Ward = 1; Castle Ward = 5; Knighton Ward = 1; North Evington Ward = 2; and Westcotes Ward = 3. The proposed Framework Agreement will be for a period of 4 years (48 months) to commence on 1st April 2019until 31st March 2023. The proposed service is based on current and known funding allocations. These could alter through the life of the contract due to changes in future local and central government funding. The contract value assigned to this service is estimated to be PS60,000.00 per annum, estimated to be PS240,000.00 for the full 48 months of the Framework Agreement period. Tenderers should note that this value has been estimated using the current spend on the service provision already in place. This is no guarantee of future volumes or value of business. Throughout the duration of the Framework, the Authority may at its discretion review the Framework and may open the Framework at its own discretion when a service need arises. A service need includes (but is not limited to): a) a lack of capacity from current providers and therefore there is a need to supplement the framework list of providers beyond the numbers initially appointed to the contract; b) an increase in the volume of service users requiring the services under the Framework; and c) to replace (if required) providers who have been removed, suspended from the framework or did not agree to provide the services. Opening the Framework will allow the opportunity for any potential new providers who are not currently appointed to the Framework to apply to the Authority, when the new tender opportunity is advertised, to be so appointed for the remainder of the term of the contract.
