Description
The Council is looking to re-commission its Sexual Reproductive Health Pharmacy Service. As part of this, It is exploring commissioning an external provider to deliver the service (support, administrative and training elements) on its behalf.
The Sexual Reproductive Health Community Pharmacy Service currently operates within 13 pharmacies across Lambeth, delivered by PGDs. Community pharmacies are contractedly directly by the Council and training and support is provided by Lewisham Council. The Council wishes to build upon this offer, and particularly to ensure equity of provision across the borough and choice in terms of service hours available.
The aim of the service is to improve access to and information on contraception, including free emergency contraception.
This currently includes:
- Comprehensive contraceptive assessment
- Assessment for emergency contraception
- Supply of emergency hormonal contraception
- Support to access ongoing contraception following request for EC
- Supply of oral contraception
- Come Correct C-Card scheme (under 25s)
- Condom purchase offer
The Council is looking to understand appetite from local community pharmacies in delivering this service and to hear ideas on how the service can best meet its outcomes.
It also looks to understand appetite from suitable organisations in providing the support and administrative functions of this service. This could include the provision of training, clinical support, monitoring and performance, processing of financial claims and other quality assurance related activities.
Providers are asked to complete one of two questionnaires:
- Pre-Market Engagement Survey - Support and Administrative
- Pre-Market Engagement Survey - Pharmacy Contractors
The deadline for responses is 28th July.
Please kindly send the completed questionnaire to sexualhealth@lambeth.gov.uk
This in a market engagement exercise and not a call for competition.
