Homecare Medicines Services (Ref: 2021/S 000-028751)
Background
This framework, available to all publicly funded organisations, is anchored in the national standard template specification for homecare medicines services, tailored to address the current and future needs of member organisations.
The agreement is structured into six lots, encompassing Low-tech, Mid-tech, and High-tech homecare medicines services, along with specialised lots for antibiotic products, injectable chemotherapy, and a hub and spoke controlled pick-up model.
The framework agreement has fifteen suppliers across all lots, all offering a defined service which encompasses the safe, secure delivery of medicines to patients at home. As an unranked framework agreement, organisations are able to choose preferred providers through direct award based on local requirements, with further competitions permitted under all lots. Manufacturer-funded homecare medicines services are procurable under Lots 1 and 2 of this versatile framework.
