## Summary

The Devon County Council is currently managing the procurement process for the "CP1585-18 Needle and Syringe Equipment Provider (NSP) Service" which falls under the health and social work services category. This tender, aimed at reducing the transmission of blood-borne viruses through effective needle and syringe provision, includes a total budget of £1,145,000 and is active as of the recent award date of July 31, 2018. The contract is expected to commence on October 1, 2018, and extend until September 30, 2023. The tendering phase concluded on June 25, 2018, and a launch event was held in Exeter on June 5, 2018, to assist interested bidders in understanding the tender documentation and process.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in public health services, including but not limited to suppliers of medical waste management, sharps containers, and syringe provision. Companies with expertise in the delivery of harm-reduction services or those capable of providing robust logistics for needle and syringe distribution and disposal will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By engaging in this tender, businesses can expand their portfolio within the public health sector and contribute to significant societal benefits related to drug-related health interventions.

## Notice

The main aim of this service is to reduce the transmission of viruses and other infections caused by sharing injecting equipment, such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C. In turn, this will reduce the prevalence of blood-borne viruses and bacterial infections, so benefiting wider society. (NICE Public Health Guideline PH52 issued March 2014) We wish to commission a Supplier to deliver the highest quality services for the provision of needles, syringes and other injecting paraphernalia to the Local Authority-commissioned Needle & Syringe Programme (NSP) providers in Devon (both pharmacies and specialist needle and syringe provision) and Torbay (both pharmacies and at the custody suite). This includes the collection and safe disposal of used injecting equipment from NSP providers. This Public Health programme provides a harm reduction intervention which aims to facilitate a reduction in drug-related morbidity/mortality, drug related litter and positively impact upon anti-social behaviours and drug-related crime, and support people towards sustainable recovery. Bidders are invited to a launch event for this opportunity to familiarise themselves with the tender documentation and process. This event will take place in Exeter on the morning of 05.06.2018. Interested bidders should email procurementpeople-mailbox@devon.gov.uk to confirm attendance names and numbers. This email should only be used to arrange attendance at this event.
