Description

DHSC is conducting a market engagement exercise to understand more about the companies and services in the UK that can, or that are seeking to produce, distribute, supply and store different formulations of take-home naloxone that can reverse the effect of an opioid overdose. In particular, we are looking to understand how these suppliers and manufacturers could potentially meet the future of needs of a UK Buffer Stock of Naloxone. The outcome of the market engagement will inform decisions around potential future procurement and storage of a naloxone buffer stock as well as providing information on how the market could meet a potential increase in demand across the UK. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a call for competition, the purpose is to seek feedback from the market that may inform the final specification and or procurement approach to the goods and services. https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome
