Description

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) is seeking an Aseptic Service Provider to manufacture, prepare, and deliver drugs and associated services.
The supplier will be expected to provide the service from a fully staffed, Sterile MHRA compliant manufacturing facility, using qualified microbiologists, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who manufacture the bespoke patient doses from base drugs.
Daily deliveries of 'fresh product' to the Trust's sites will be required and sometimes several times a day, due to this the Trust will require the Aseptic Service Provider facility to be based within a 30-minute distribution location due to the expiry of certain drug doses.
The supplier will be required to manufacture named patient supply and batch supplies of Parenteral Nutrition, Biologicals and Chemotherapy. Essentially, the supplier will receive raw materials (un-compounded drugs) and process them into tangible products as per the Trusts' requirements, with the current levels detailed below:
This will be for Adults, Paediatric and Neonatal patients.
Current annual volume of work is:
- 3 471 Adult standard TPN bags,
- 517 Adult standard TPN bags with tailored additions,
- 2 060 Adult bespoke TPN bags,
- 750 Paediatric TPN Bags as a mixture of batches of standard formulations and tailor-made bags named for patients,
- 4 584 Neonatal TPN bags as a mixture of: standard bags of the shelf, batches of standard formulations and tailored bags named for patients,
- 30 602 named patient cancer chemotherapeutic doses,
- 4 144 named patient mono-clonal antibodies,
OUH may purchase some of the drugs directly, that will be 'handled' by the supplier, or instruct the supplier to purchase them on the Trusts' behalf to then be rebated monthly to deliver the compound service.
The contract will be awarded to the successful supplier for a term of 10 years
