Notice Description
The Delivery of a Standardised Pharmaceutical Medicine Dispensing Service for Tuberculosis (TB) and Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) Patients.<br/><br/>This notice is for an award without competition as a result of a single expression of interest subsequent to the PIN, negating the opportunity to run a competitive process.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Trust are exploring the market to find a supplier to dispense outpatient prescriptions (the Service) for the UHNM TB Service held at the Cobridge Community Health Centre, Church Terrace, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, ST6 2JN and to ensure that the service is conducted in a consistent, professional and accurate manner. The service will consist of dispensing medicines for TB against outpatient prescriptions.
The operational times for the TB Service is between Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm, there is an expectation that the Pharmacy will operate up to 6.00pm.
The year 1 2025/26 estimated annual volume of prescriptions to be dispensed and drug expenditure is 135,000 items (PS14 million drug expenditure)
The Service is required to be within walking distance of the Cobridge Community Health Centre, i.e. within 0.5 miles, as in practical terms the Trust's staff must have the ability to walk between the Health Centre and Pharmacy many times a day to meet spontaneous and unexpected drug dispensing need. It is not practical or sustainable to require Staff to use cars for pharmacy trips. This is the same principle as Hospital based Pharmacy services which have a requirement to have services within walking distances. Additional information: This notice is for an award without competition as a result of a single expression of interest subsequent to the PIN, negating the opportunity to run a competitive process.
