SCCL will use the Pre- Market Engagement sessions to outline the future strategic objectives for the NHS Supply Chain, share the key requirements of the Logistics Services Provider contract, and for SCCL to capture industry information and Potential Provider views that may assist in the development of the NHS Supply Chain’s Logistics Operating Model. SCCL aims to commence procurement by late summer 2022 for the provision of Logistics services. These services are critical for the delivery of NHS Supply Chain goods procured under the CTSP frameworks which are available to 1) any NHS Trust; 2) any other NHS entity or healthcare provider (including private organisations, primary care, community settings and social care); 3) any government department, agency, or other statutory body (including Devolved Authorities, Crown Dependencies and/or Pandemic Planning Programmes), and/or 4) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector on behalf of a public-sector organisation listed in 1) to 4) above. NHS Supply Chain manage the sourcing, delivery and supply of healthcare products, services and food for NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. In 2018, SCCL (the management function of the NHS Supply Chain) entered contracts with 11 Category Tower Service Providers (CTSPs) to provide goods and services to NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. Goods are delivered through two enabling services which underpin the CTSP model, these enabling services are Logistics and Fulfilment, and Supporting Technology. The scope of the current contract involves the operational logistics management of the NHS Supply Chain estate, Home Delivery Services (HDS), additional in-bound logistics and inter-depot trunking services.
