Bracknell Forest Council is looking for a supplier to provide Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) services and products. This is a healthcare supply contract to ensure the council can offer emergency contraception to residents who need it, likely through pharmacies, sexual health clinics, or community health services.
Requirements
- Must be able to supply pharmaceutical-grade Emergency Hormonal Contraception products that meet UK medicines regulations
- Must hold appropriate pharmaceutical wholesaler or supplier licenses
- Must comply with NHS supply chain standards and quality assurance processes
- Must demonstrate ability to maintain reliable stock levels and emergency delivery capacity
- Must follow data protection and confidentiality requirements for sensitive health information
- No specific certifications listed in the notice — check the full tender documents for ISO standards, pharmacy accreditation, or regulatory compliance details
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply Emergency Hormonal Contraception products (typically levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate tablets) to designated council health service locations
- Maintain minimum stock levels to ensure availability for residents within agreed timeframes
- Provide delivery of products to multiple council locations or partner health providers
- Handle product traceability, batch management, and expiry date rotation
- Support training or information materials for staff administering EHC
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a healthcare/pharmaceutical supply contract — expect strict regulatory and quality controls. Check if you need a wholesaler license or can operate as an authorized distributor.
- 2Look in the full tender for: contract value, annual volumes/quantities needed, number of delivery locations, required response times for emergency stock requests, and pricing structure (fixed price vs. variable).
- 3Watch for 'framework agreements' language — councils often use these, meaning you may supply multiple locations over several years rather than a one-off purchase.
- 4Check the specification section carefully for product requirements (strength, packaging, storage conditions) — getting this wrong will disqualify your bid.
- 5Sensitive services: this involves reproductive health, so expect requirements around confidentiality, safeguarding, and potentially equalities impact assessments in the tender documents.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small pharmacy or health supplier without wholesale licenses, consider partnering with a larger licensed pharmaceutical distributor as a subcontractor — this is common in health supply tenders.
- The council may score social value highly — highlight any local employment, support for health education, or commitment to accessible contraception in underserved areas.
- Check whether the council wants a single supplier or is happy to award to multiple suppliers for resilience — if the latter, you have a better chance competing against larger chains.
