## Notice

Nottingham City Council is looking to commission a service to supply pharmacies across Nottingham City and the Specialist Needle Exchange provider with injecting equipment to distribute who use substances. Nottingham City Council currently commissions 16 Pharmacy Providers to deliver needle exchange across 21 branches in Nottingham City, and one Specialist Needle Exchange provider. The Pharmacy Needle Exchange scheme is procured through an open accreditation, and so, there is the potential for this number to increase, thus impacting on the volume of equipment required. The Provider will be required to supply a range of high-quality injecting equipment to pharmacies delivering needle exchanges across Nottingham City and the Specialist Needle Exchange provider in both pre-packed needle exchange packs, and individually to form a 'pick and mix' model.
