SCC AGC Procurement of Needle Exchange Equipment and Support

Tender description

This RFQ is a formal request for quotations to provide Surrey County Council with Needle Exchange Equipment predominantly for their Community Pharmacy NSP (Needle & Syringe Programme) and in addition other service providers contracted by SCC (Surrey County Council) who provide additional community based NSPs. Current NSP provision in Surrey is pack based and due to the geographical size of the county, this style of provision would continue however going forward certain 'Super' Pharmacies may also provide a Pick and Mix equipment service in key areas. Therefore this quote is to provide NSP equipment based on current pack provision with additional items. In addition to the provision of equipment, the manager of the service would also need the provider to support them with the scheme which could include auditing, stock checks, service user feedback, advertising, training, reporting, research and education. Therefore it is fundamental that the provider has a detailed knowledge of current guidance and legislation and is harm reduction focussed.
