Description
Milton Keynes City Council ('the Council') would like feedback from providers who may be interested in the provision of a Medication Administration Service.
Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and Milton Keynes City Council are working together to commission Medication Administration services for residents in Milton Keynes, where requiring support to safely administer their medication is an identified need. We are keen to hear from providers on the questions given in the market engagement document. The responses to the questions will help the Council in developing the specification and the tender.
Medicines support is any support that enables a person to manage their medicines. This covers prompting or reminding people to take their medicines; helping people remove medicines from packaging; and administering some or all of a person's medicines.
Referrals for the service will come from CNWL District Nurse team only and could be located anywhere within Milton Keynes.
Ay prospective Providers will be registered with CQC, with the registered office located in Milton Keynes. The provider will be rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' in all domains (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led) at their most recent inspection. There must be no CQC enforcement notices in place.
Please respond to the questions by latest 5pm on Friday 20th June 2025 via In-Tend Correspondence section/market engagement stage.
