The provider will be best placed to oversee and manage all of the regular locally enhanced services activity in Bolton to provide professional guidance and training to pharmacy staff therefore ensuring best quality service provision for our people. The provider will require access to all pharmoutcomes activity and capability and be able to assess delivery and outputs collectively across GM, Bolton and on an individual pharmacy basis. By providing a single point of contact this will enable more flexibility, improved service provision, increased take up and better value for money when considered alongside the current commissioning arrangements which are inefficient, time consuming and at times ad hoc. The provider will provide ongoing and regular training and clinical support and review and implementation of revised patient group directives (PGDs) as required working with GM medicines management leads. The provider will need to have a relationship with all pharmacies in the borough and have thorough knowledge and expertise in relation to Sexual Health, Smoking Cessation and Pre-Printed MAR's. The provider will need to be skilled in incident management and will be able to manage swift actions as required. It is the intention of the Council to award this contract under the most suitable provider process. The lifetime of the project is for an initial period of 3 years with an option to extend by a further 2 years. This is a new service and a new provider and it is anticipated that the service will be provided between 01.09.24 - 31.08.29. The lifetime value (5 years) of this contract is £79,800
