The current delivery model is fragmented given that NHS England inherited numerous contracts as part of PCT and SHA transition. NHS England is now looking to establish a national framework agreement for the collection of clinical waste from GP surgeries and community pharmacies throughout England. The intention is to consolidate the existing fragmented delivery model, which consists of approximately 100 local agreements funded by NHS England, to be delivered through this framework. The framework will be split into 4 regional lots in line with the NHS England regional boundaries: [england.nhs.uk](http://www.england.nhs.uk/about/regional-area-teams/) The intention is to award a place on the framework to between 3 and 5 suppliers on each Lot. The contract opportunity will welcome innovative proposals that will maximise the qualitative benefits of the new framework in particular linked to end user education, improved waste segregation, sustainability and potentially influencing drug waste reduction. The exact timeline is not yet established but NHS England intend to complete the contract award process by October 2015. NHS England wishes to gauge the level of interest from organisations who can and are interested in providing these clinical waste services.
