The Waltham Forest CCG is seeking to Procure a primary care-led service model for the monitoring and management of anticoagulation patients. The service is required to be delivered from a minimum of five sites across the borough, with at least three of these sites being local pharmacies. The proposed sites should provide sufficient coverage across the three localities in Waltham Forest: Leyton/Leytonstone, Walthamstow and Chingford.

The Services to which this requirement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the 2015 Public Contracts Regulations (the Regulations). Whilst the Regulations will apply to this procurement, the procurement procedure will be undertaken in accordance with Regulations 74 to 76 (inclusive) of Part 2, Chapter 3, and Section 7 of the Regulations, which comprise the Cabinet Office's Light Touch Regime.
The Commissioner is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations. The procedure that the Commissioner is following is as set out in the Invitation to Tender. The Process will be similar to Open Procedure process under the Regulations but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commissioner is not running the Process as though the Open procedure under the Regulations applies and so reserves the right to depart from that procedure at any point. The procurement will be advertised via OJEU. The contract value is for £1,460,000 including VAT for a five year period. The contract duration is for 3 years with an option to extend it for 2 years.
