Description

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of itself and the other NHS organisations within the Greater Manchester Provider Chief Pharmacists’ Collaborative (GMPCPC) identified within this notice, would like to invite potential suppliers to participate in a tender process for the provision of regional medicine supply chain services.
The GMPCPC was tasked to improve service levels and increase medicines optimisation activities and has identified, as the most effective option, a regional supply chain model that provides medicines at pre-assembled ward level to hospitals.
The Trust and Authorised Service Recipients require safe, reliable and resilient medicines supply chain Services, to drive efficiencies and streamline all logistics processes.
The Trust will act as host organisation of the operating model, across procurement, implementation and ongoing operations. The Trust will operate a strategic Control Tower, which will be co-located at the Facility and act as intermediary between the successful Supplier and the Authorised Service Recipients.
Each potential supplier will be required to identify and confirm within its bid the medicines it has access to under CMU contracts (known as Standard Stock). The successful Supplier will then be responsible for all Standard Stock medicine procurement, ownership and supply chain management.
All other medicines required to fulfil Orders from Authorised Service Recipients (known as Non-Standard Stock) will be purchased on behalf of the Authorised Service Recipients by the Control Tower. Whilst the successful Supplier will not take ownership of the Non-Standard Stock, it will be required to store, pick, pack and deliver (i.e. provide supply chain management for) that Non-Standard Stock together with all Standard Stock.
The value of the contract opportunity stated in this notice includes the potential cost of all Standard Stock to be provided by the successful Supplier.
The successful Supplier will be responsible for all storage and management of Stock, preparation of Stock for transportation and delivery, minimisation of Stock wastage, and delivery of Stock from the Facility to the Delivery Points.
The successful Supplier is required to provide an electronic inventory management system (known as the Dedicated IT) to underpin the procurement, inventory, Ordering, delivery and invoicing of Stock. Other technologies such as cumulative barcoding, GS1 and business intelligence provision are required as part of the Services.
In accordance with the requirements of the Service Contract, changes to medicines regulations, developments and innovations are to be considered, anticipated and incorporated into the model over the Term.
The Trust’s ambition is to build a collaborative relationship with the successful Supplier, and to create a forward thinking and intelligent structure to anticipate and satisfy the developing needs of the pharmacy services in Greater Manchester.
All capitalised terms used in this short description have the meaning given to them in the procurement documents.
Tenderers are strongly encouraged to consider the procurement documents in full to ensure that they are able to understand and appreciate the entire scope of the opportunity

University of Portsmouth Bus Services

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation requires a ‘pay-to-use’ bus service for its staff and students. The bus Service shall provide access for staff and student to the main University campus in Portsmouth city centre, during term-time and for special weekend and event Services. The provision of a reliable and convenient low emission bus Service aims to attract students and staff away from using personal cars, further improving air quality and enhancing local community safety given the number of school children going to and from school in the area. The Commencement Date for the Contract shall be 01 September 2025, with a Contract Term of three (3) years up to 31 August 2028 and an option to extend for a further two (2) x twelve (12) month periods, if required, with a potential full Contract Term up to 31 August 2030. The Supplier shall be required to provide two main bus Service routes: U1: is a Southsea circular route that operates Monday to Friday, during term-time, in an anti-clockwise direction only, through the main student and staff housing areas and starting at Kings Theatre. U2: The U2 bus Service shall run Monday to Friday, during term-time, to help students get from the city centre campus to Langstone sports pitches. The nature of the University activities is such that demand for bus Services will fluctuate during the day, (with early morning and late afternoon peaks for travel), and throughout the year, with greater demand at the start of the academic year and during events organised by the University or Student Union, for example. The Supplier shall be required to provide Services to cater for the busiest periods, and shall be required to deliver a flexible Service which is able to react to changes in demand. This may require the provision of duplicate or additional vehicles operating outside the standard timetable, and provision of additional vehicles to cater for specific events within the University calendar.
