The NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (the 2013 Regulations) require each Health and Wellbeing Board to make a revised assessment as soon as is reasonably practicable after identifying changes to the need for pharmaceutical services which are of a significant extent. The NHS Act 2006 (the "2006 Act"), amended by the Health and Social Care Act 2012, sets out the requirements for HBW to develop and update pharmaceutical needs assessments and gives the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) powers to make regulations. Every area is required to publish a refreshed PNA document every 3 years. Croydon, in line with national regulations, published its first PNA in April 2015 and the second in 2018. The third PNA is due to refresh and publish in October 2022 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b825cbac-c601-4899-9930-472964bae4b3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jan 2022 - 16 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,999 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROYDON COUNCIL | | Locality | CROYDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR0 1EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 75122000 - Administrative healthcare services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Dec 2021 at 14:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b825cbac-c601-4899-9930-472964bae4b3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b825cbac-c601-4899-9930-472964bae4b3 3rd December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.croydon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
