Tender description
The contract will deliver a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) covering Oxfordshire that will meet the requirement as specified in the NHS (Pharmaceutical Services and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations ("the 2013 Regulations") and any subsequent legislation or guidance published during the project period. A PNA is a key commissioning tool to ensure that local areas have high quality pharmaceutical services that meet needs. A PNA sets out the community pharmaceutical services that are currently provided and gives recommendations to address any identified gaps, taking into account future needs. A PNA supports the commissioning intentions for pharmaceutical services and other services that could be delivered by community pharmacies and other providers. The Completed PNA will inform commissioning decisions by local authorities, NHS England and the Integrated Care Board. The contract commenced on 2 December 2024 and will expire on 1 October 2025.
