## Summary

Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of a Pharmacy Stock Control System to System C Healthcare Ltd. The tender is categorised under Pharmacy Services (CPV Code: 85149000) and involves a significant financial investment of £64,694.25. This contract was crucial for their inpatient pharmacy, enhancing patient care and safety with timely medication supplies. The contract period runs from 21 May 2024 to 20 May 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare IT solutions, especially those capable of integrating pharmacy management systems with electronic prescribing and medication administration systems. Although this particular opportunity is not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs according to the procurement details, companies with existing solutions for pharmacy stock control and systems integrations would find such tenders beneficial for business growth. Engaging in contracts with large healthcare trusts can open doors to further collaborations and strategic partnerships within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

Originally procured because SASH served notice in 2018 and SCFT require their own inpatient pharmacy to supply medicines. We opened the dispensary in November 2019 and the staff within medicines management have been using this system for almost 5 years. During the roll out of EPMA, the pharmacy stock control system Careflow medicines management (Formally Careflow, Wellsky and JAC) was integrated with TPP System 1 to create a closed loop ordering system for medications. This was a significant financial investment. This also improved patient care and safety surrounding medicines being supplied correctly and on time.
