Justification
the Authority recently tendered for PD fluids and IV fluids under 2018/S 025-052743. However due to conflicting information received part way through the procurement about the product, a decision was taken to cancel the PD fluids from the tender until such time that the conflicting information was verified for accuracy. This information has now been verified and the Authority wishes to re-tender for the PD fluids on an accelerated basis to ensure that stockpile shortages are minimal. There are no changes to the tender documents in terms of product specification. Volumes are detailed within the documentation.
Contract is suitable for SMEs?

The Authority owns an Essential Medicines Buffer Stockpile (EMBS), which was first set up in 2009. The purpose of the EMBS is to have medicines that are routinely used in the NHS, available for release into the UK supply chain in the event of pandemic or other health emergency. The current EMBS contract was finalised in November 2015 and runs for 4 years to November 2019.
A clinical review of the current EMBS contract has identified revisions to intravenous (IV) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids for which there are at present no contracts or buffer stocks. Creating a buffer stock for PD fluids is the subject of this procurement.
The Essential Medicines Buffer Stock for PD fluids will operate differently to other national stockpiles in that the suppliers who win the contracts are required to store and rotate the stock through their normal supply chain to prevent it from expiring. All the stock must be held with at least a 12 month expiry date and it must be held within the UK. The Contract will be for a period of up to 17 months with the option to extend a further 12 months at the Authorities discretion.
