CHRT503-2021-22 -DS/DN - Greater Manchester Pharmacy Logistics Supply Chain Service

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
