Description
NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) intends to award a contract to Somerset Primary Healthcare Limited to deliver a Covid Medicine Delivery Service to assess all patients in the community aged 18 years and over who are identified as being at high risk of an adverse outcome from Covid and have Covid symptoms and/or a positive lateral flow test.

The contract term will be for 2 years with an optional extension of any period up to 1 year.
The contract value is £110,000.00 per annum giving a contract value of £220,000.00 for the initial contract period and £330,000.00 if the full extension period is adopted.
The new service will commence on the 1st August 2024
This procurement was being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
