Gateshead Public Health Contract Opportunity

Public Health services in Gateshead are now being re-commissioned by the council.  
The services currently provided by pharmacies need to  be re-commissioned by a tender process in line with other council contracts.  
The LPC has been working with the council to make this process as easy as possible for pharmacies.  As a consequence a Pharmoutcomes module has been developed to aid this process.
Gateshead council are opening up this tender to all pharmacies in Gateshead including those who did not offer the services previously.  We believe this is a great opportunity for pharmacy contractors.

 The 5 services that are now being re-commissioned are
  1. EHC
  2. NHS Health Checks
  3. Smoking Intervention
  4. NRT Supply
  5. Supervised Consumption.
If you are already a provider of any of theses services you will also need to complete the tender process.

The process for existing providers as well as new providers is as follows.

  1. Gateshead Pharmacies  will now have a new service in their pharmoutcomes service list titled  “Gateshead Public Health Contract Opportunity”
  2. Click on this 
  3. Read through the information and answer the questions.  Makes sure you download the relevant specification and paperwork for the services you wish to offer. (or are currently offering). Please note much of the form has been pre-populated for you.
  4. Submit the data
  5. Your submission will be assessed by the commissioners.  If you are successful you will be sent an award letter informing you of this fact.
Each pharmacy wishing to offer services will need to fill in a pharmoutcomes module for each branch / store.  Some of the questions appear to be repetitive however this was unavoidable as different parts of the document are for different purposes at the council.  The LPC believe that this is a minor inconvenience given the simplicity of the overall process.  

The deadline for submission is 15th March and we would strongly advise contractors to fill this in as soon as possible to avoid any disruption in services.  

Should you have any queries regarding the process or any of the services please contact the relevant person at the council.   (Details below)
