Description

Nottingham City Council is looking to commission a service to supply pharmacies across Nottingham City and the Specialist Needle Exchange provider with injecting equipment to distribute who use substances. Nottingham City Council currently commissions 16 Pharmacy Providers to deliver needle exchange across 21 branches in Nottingham City, and one Specialist Needle Exchange provider. The Provider will be required to supply a range of high-quality injecting equipment to pharmacies delivering needle exchanges across Nottingham City and the Specialist Needle Exchange provider in both pre-packed needle exchange packs, and individually to form a ‘pick and mix’ model. Needle exchange programmes are an excellent method of delivering a range of vital harm reduction interventions to injecting drug users and are an integral part of the drug treatment system in Nottingham City. The provision of sterile injecting equipment can significantly reduce the wide range of risks that are associated with injecting drug use which include; blood-borne viruses (BBV) and other physical health issues (ulcers, abscesses, DVT, etc.).
