Market Engagement - NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF)

NHS COMMUNITY PHARMACY CONTRACTUAL FRAMEWORK

NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) National Commercial and Procurement Hub are undertaking market engagement in relation to the digital requirements that will support the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF).

Technical toolkits have been developed in relation to the following CPCF services, with NHSEI seeking feedback from suppliers as to the viability of the toolkits building on the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) technical toolkit that has already been agreed and published. The exercise is designed to invite feedback and move towards the publication of these toolkits as a standard requirement for software suppliers supporting CPCF services that will include clear timescales for implementation.

This engagement activity is aligned with the development of the APIs for the above services to support remuneration and the sharing of data for service evaluation and commissioning purposes, which is being led by the NHS BSA.

Suppliers who wish to participate in this engagement exercise will require access to National Commercial and Procurement Hub's Intend portal page. Please register through the Intend e-procurement system (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home) for further instructions.

The deadline for feedback is 5pm (BST) on 17 June 2022.

Feedback sessions for this Market Engagement, will aim to be undertaken week commencing the 20th June 2022.
