OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has initiated a procurement process for the "Provision of Human Pharmaceutical Goods" to supply pharmaceuticals and general healthcare products for the Bristo Square University Pharmacy. This procurement, classified under the education industry, is currently in the Tender stage and is being conducted via an open procedure through the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal. The deadline for submission of bids is set for 17 July 2017, with a potential contract value of £2,492,000 over a framework agreement intended to last for two years, with possible extensions. Delivery will be required at the Richard Verney Health Centre in Edinburgh.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies and healthcare goods, particularly those that can provide a broad range of products without needing to divide their offerings into lots. Companies with a minimum yearly turnover of £90,000 and relevant experience in pharmaceutical supply chains will be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, the requirement for bidders to show compliance with insurance and quality management standards indicates that there is a focus on reliability and quality in the supplier selection process, making this an attractive opportunity for established suppliers in the industry.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Human Pharmaceutical Goods

Notice Description

The University wishes to appoint suppliers to a Framework Agreement for the supply of pharmaceuticals, general healthcare and retail goods for the Bristo Square University Pharmacy. This requirement is not divided into Lots as most pharmaceutical suppliers supply a broad range of goods and can supply the majority of the goods to be procured through this framework. Dividing into lots would therefore not add value. This procurement will be conducted via the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal (PCS-T). We will apply a one stage Open procedure. Bidders must self-certify their adherence to the conditions of participation via the ESPD (Scotland) in PSC-T, and may be required to submit Means of Proof before contract award. Bidders must refer to the specific requirements listed in the Section III in this OJEU Contract Notice when completing the ESPD in PCS-T.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University intends to create a Framework Agreement. This will allow the Pharmacist purchasing flexibility within the remit of the suppliers awarded to the Framework and ensure that the University can continue to purchase from the most competitive/appropriate supplier. The pharmacy offers a range of services, including: - Dispensing - Dispensing of NHS prescriptions and advice on how to get the most benefit from medicines. A comprehensive stock of medicines is kept and the pharmacy seek to ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, through the use of a fast and efficient wholesaler service. - Repeat Prescription Dispensing/Prescription collection - Disposal of unwanted medicines - Health Advice and Self-Care - the pharmacist and trained assistants are available for advice on all medicines and minor ailments. They can also give advice on how to live a healthy life, for example, advice on how to stop smoking or healthy diets. Where they cannot help, they will direct customers to other sources of advice and assistance. - Patient Medication Records - the pharmacy computer system keeps records of all prescriptions dispensed by the University pharmacy. This helps check for possible problems, such as interactions between medicines, and will help deal with any queries. The Pharmacy complies with the Data Protection Act and the NHS code of practice on confidentiality. - Medicine Sales - the pharmacy stocks a wide range of over the counter medicines and also vitamins and mineral supplements. - Holiday Healthcare - the pharmacist can advise on medical requirements for travellers, including anti-malaria treatments/vaccines. - Emergency Contraception - the pharmacist is available, usually immediately, and without appointment to prescribe free emergency contraception. - Emergency Supplies - if customers require one of their regular medicines in an emergency, when unable to contact their doctor, the pharmacy may be able to help. Bidders will be required to supply a range of goods to enable the pharmacist to deliver such services. In addition to the supply of goods, the University requires suppliers to provide a range of services as detailed in the ITT. This requirement is not divided into lots as most pharmaceutical suppliers supply a broad range of goods and can supply the majority of the goods to be procured through this framework. Dividing into lots would therefore not add value.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: 2.2. This Framework Agreement is for a period of 2 years. The University reserves the right to extend the Framework Agreement for a further 1 + 1 years, subject to satisfactory performance and continued requirement.
