The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 17th July 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 17th August 2018 and will last until 14th January 2021, with a possible extension of 12 months. This initiative falls under the health industry category and aims to establish a critically needed buffer stock of PD fluids to support national health emergency preparedness. The tender will follow an open procurement method, allowing for widespread participation. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of medical products, particularly those that can store and manage peritoneal dialysis fluids with a minimum 12-month shelf life. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, particularly those with capabilities in logistics and healthcare supply chains. Engaging in this contract could help these businesses expand their reach within the healthcare sector and contribute to a vital public service. ## Notice Peritoneal Dialysis Fluids - a full list of PD fluids and the related tender documents are published on the Departments tendering system Please sign up to the Department's tendering system via the below link to be able to register interest and complete your tender submission. https://dh.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html The Authority owns an Essential Medicines Buffer Stockpile (EMBS), which was first set up in 2009. The purpose of the EMBS is to have medicines that are routinely used in the NHS, available for release into the UK supply chain in the event of pandemic or other health emergency. The current EMBS contract was finalised in November 2015 and runs for 4 years to November 2019. A clinical review of the current EMBS contract has identified revisions to intravenous (IV) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids for which there are at present no contracts or buffer stocks. Creating a buffer stock for PD fluids is the subject of this procurement. The Essential Medicines Buffer Stock for PD fluids will operate differently to other national stockpiles in that the suppliers who win the contracts are required to store and rotate the stock through their normal supply chain to prevent it from expiring. All the stock must be held with at least a 12 month expiry date and it must be held within the UK. The Contract will be for a period of up to 17 months with the option to extend a further 12 months at the Authorities discretion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ade53dcd-0e23-4542-b7e6-3d2373c9bd27 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Aug 2018 - 14 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £11,000,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33690000 - Various medicinal products ## Release History - 26 Jun 2018 at 08:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ade53dcd-0e23-4542-b7e6-3d2373c9bd27 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ade53dcd-0e23-4542-b7e6-3d2373c9bd27 26th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://dh.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care - https://dh.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
