Sexual Health
Umbrella Sexual Health Services:
As part of the government’s initiative to implement e-procurement, in 2016 University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to commission Sexual Health Services from Pharmacies.
The electronic procurement process is now live and any pharmacy wishing to be included in delivering services will need to apply electronically to be admitted to the DPS. Once this is complete the provider will be able to “bid” for the services. Only those who have been successfully admitted to the DPS will be able to bid for the services. The opportunity to apply to be admitted to the DPS will remain open for the life of the DPS, however until you are admitted as a provider you will not be able to tender for the “Services”.
