About

NHS Improvements awarded a contract to ERNST & YOUNG LLP for the provision of medicines supply chain information to support ICU medicines supply during the COVID-19 response, Phase Two.

The contract, valued at £90,000, required visibility of the medicines supply chain and national stockholding of priority ICU medicines to enable NHS England & Improvement to allocate and distribute medicines equitably based on need to NHS Trusts in England and across the devolved administrations.

The information supported planning for and management of shortages and engagement with industry on priority manufacture areas, particularly given the extremely high demand and changed usage profile of certain medicines due to COVID-19 treatment requiring far higher volumes per patient, primarily due to the length of sedation needed.
