We believe that a mini-competition under East Of England Collaborative Procurement Hub’s (EOECPH) Specialist Pharmacy Courier Services dynamic purchasing system Ref: 2021/S 000-000597 offers the best route to market for STH. It provides assurances that all suppliers meet MHRA standards and any interested supplier can apply to be admitted to the DPS to be considered for the mini-competition.
We are considering lotting our requirement, which means that rather than offering one contract for all our deliveries, we are considering splitting this into several lots and suppliers are free to bid on one or as many as they are interested in.
We would like to engage with the market via this Prior Information Notice as a request for information to help shape our specification and lot structure.
Please see Atamis reference C306842 for access to our draft documentation and questionnaire for potential suppliers.
