The services will be delivered across the pan Dorset region in England, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers, particularly those specialising in health, medical equipment, and community support services. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, making it an inclusive opportunity. Businesses capable of providing quality, sterile injecting equipment and willing to collaborate on public health initiatives will find this tender well-suited to their competencies. With a substantial contract value and long-term engagement, participating companies can establish a strong presence and foster relationships with local councils, thereby expanding their market reach and contributing to public health improvement. ## Notice Bournemouth Christchurch Poole (BCP) Council working in partnership with Dorset Council is looking to commission a company ('supplier') to supply pre-packed injecting equipment, for distribution to individuals who use illegal substances, within a variety of community-based services across the pan Dorset region. Community based services can be delivered within a pharmacy, custody suite within a police station or any other health provision commissioned by either BCP Council or Dorset Council, which are nominated to provide a community-based needle exchange programme. Community based needle exchanges are open access, low threshold services to allow people who inject drugs access to the provision of equipment and access to the safe disposal of returned injecting equipment in accessible non specialist services. Needle and syringe programmes (NSP) are based on a commitment to provide people who inject equipment with sterile hypodermic needles and associated injecting equipment at no costs at the point of use. The aim of these services is to reduce the damage associated with using unsterile or contaminated injecting equipment. Anticipated start date is July 2025. The contract will be for five years with the option to extend for a further three years (5+3). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for eight years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28fa1971-dba1-4120-b2bf-91ee24a2ea88 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | 11 Mar 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2025 - 30 Jun 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £360,000 | | 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 | BOURNEMOUTH CHRISTCHURCH AND POOLE COUNCIL | | Locality | BOURNEMOUTH | | Post town | Bournemouth | | Postcode | BH2 6DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK63 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Local authority | Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Electoral ward | Bournemouth Central | | Westminster constituency | Bournemouth 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 - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2025 at 10:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28fa1971-dba1-4120-b2bf-91ee24a2ea88 - 10 Feb 2025 at 14:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81e98848-fdcd-4ece-a667-84952c8874aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28fa1971-dba1-4120-b2bf-91ee24a2ea88 7th March 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81e98848-fdcd-4ece-a667-84952c8874aa 10th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=198b4d44-bde7-ef11-8134-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
