Description

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (EoECPH) is leading on establishing a Procurement in Partnership framework agreement to identify suppliers able to work collaboratively with participating authorities to deliver high-quality hybrid dispensary service models encompassing on-site, remote service delivery and potentially other innovative services models. This hybrid approach to outpatient dispensary services is expected to be utilised within complex and challenging environments not immediately suitable to traditional outpatient dispensary services such as multi-site provider trusts and integrated care systems, hospital estate limitations or use of remote outpatient clinic models. This framework also aims to create a strong platform for creative collaboration between authorities and suppliers to dynamically adapt to changes to service requirements during the contract term.


The scope of this framework agreement excludes any traditional outsourced outpatient pharmacy services which can be reasonably accommodated by the Procurement in Partnership Pharmacy Services framework agreement FTS: 2022/S 000-004671.

A further competition for Mid and South Essex is being undertaken alongside this procurement for a framework agreement and bidders are encouraged to participate.
