The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub’s Hybrid Outpatient Pharmacy Dispensing framework is a national agreement offering participating authorities access to suppliers which have the capability to work collaboratively with them to deliver high-quality, hybrid dispensary service models. This encompasses on-site and remote service delivery. Potentially, the agreement can also accommodate any other innovative service models. Taking a hybrid approach to outpatient dispensary services, this single lot framework has been created for use in complex and challenging environments not suitable for traditional outpatient dispensary services.

This framework offers flexibility by aiming to create a strong platform for creative collaboration between authorities and suppliers to dynamically adapt to changes to service requirements during the contract term.
