Pharmacy Clean Room Services and Consumables (NOE.0641)

Following the expiration of our previous framework, and discussions with the North East & Yorkshire NHS Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium and NOE CPC members, it became clear there was still a high level of demand and a requirement to conduct a repeat tender.

The aim of the framework renewal was to update and re-evaluate the complete requirements to ensure that the award met current aseptic standards. The framework contains a comprehensive portfolio of services, consumables and evidence-based products which can contribute to total assurance of high levels of service and total sterility within any pharmacy clean room and aseptics environment.

A multi-disciplinary sourcing group of lead Principal Pharmacy Technicians, QA managers, Production Managers, procurement and pharmacy leads had a significant input; working together in preparation of the specification and evaluation of tenders resulting in a framework which will give end users total peace of mind within the pharmacy preparation environment.
