Utvikling av kliniske ferdigheter for apotektekniker

This requirement is to identify a delivery partner to provide: a clinical skills and knowledge training course for pharmacy technicians to develop them to maximise their capability in the delivery of extended clinical services in addition to NHS core services. This is required for patient safety if we are to successfully implement the biggest reforms in pharmacy for decades. The total contract value for running three 2-year programmes is set at £360,000 (inc. VAT). The training cost per cohort will be £60,000 per annum. This is aligned to existing provision which meets system requirements (obtained through scoping survey). The training will support patient safety where pharmacy technicians are undertaking new service s such as Pharmacy First. There is a need, as highlighted through stakeholder engagement, to bridge the gap between initial education training to the level of clinical knowledge and skills required to meet service provision needs. The intention is to run an open process under the Light Touch Regime via. Contracts Finder. The % split used will be 60% technical, 10% social value, 30% commercial. NHS Standard Terms and Conditions for the provision of services will apply. The deadline for submission of completed ITQ submissions is 11th August 2026 at 12:00pm (midday). Late submissions will not be accepted therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time. All communications should be made via the messaging function on the e-Tendering portal during the tender exercise. The Contracting Authority requests that all communications are channelled through the e-portal system and not with the Contracting Authority itself other than as expressly permitted within this ITQ.
