Lot D - Other Unlicensed Compounded Homecare Medicines Services
Lot E - Metabolic Unlicensed Homecare Medicines Services Medicines
Lot F - Other Unlicensed(non-compounded) Homecare Medicines Services
Please note that the information contained in this Notice reflects the Authority's position at the current stage and may be subject to change following preliminary market engagement. The Authority reserves the right to amend any details provided or not to proceed with the procurement process.
