## Summary

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub has awarded a contract for the "Hybrid Outpatient Pharmacy Dispensing Framework" valued at £100,000,000. The procurement process was initiated as a tender, with an open procedure (above threshold) as the procurement method. The contract period is from 1st February 2023 to 31st January 2025. The framework agreement aims to create collaboration opportunities between participating authorities and suppliers to deliver innovative hybrid outpatient pharmacy services, excluding traditional outsourced services.

This tender presents opportunities for SMEs in the pharmacy services sector who can offer hybrid dispensary services in complex environments. Businesses with expertise in delivering on-site, remote, and innovative pharmacy service models are well-suited to compete. The buying organization, East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub, is seeking suppliers to collaborate on adapting service requirements dynamically during the contract term. Interested parties should note the closing date for the tender period, which ends on 30th January 2023.

## Notice

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (EoECPH) is leading on establishing a Procurement in Partnership framework agreement to identify suppliers able to work collaboratively with participating authorities to deliver high-quality hybrid dispensary service models encompassing on-site, remote service delivery and potentially other innovative services models. This hybrid approach to outpatient dispensary services is expected to be utilised within complex and challenging environments not immediately suitable to traditional outpatient dispensary services such as multi-site provider trusts and integrated care systems, hospital estate limitations or use of remote outpatient clinic models. This framework also aims to create a strong platform for creative collaboration between authorities and suppliers to dynamically adapt to changes to service requirements during the contract term. The scope of this framework agreement excludes any traditional outsourced outpatient pharmacy services which can be reasonably accommodated by the Procurement in Partnership Pharmacy Services framework agreement FTS: 2022/S 000-004671. A further competition for Mid and South Essex is being undertaken alongside this procurement for a framework agreement and bidders are encouraged to participate.
