| BACKGROUND: |
The Invitation to Bid PD 14-15.084 Pharmaceutical Supplies for Escambia County was advertised in the Pensacola News Journal on August 17, 2015 per the Purchasing Policy for utilization of Cooperative Purchase Agreements- PP120. One bid and one "no-bid" were received on September 16, 2016 for the multiple award Contract for the purchase of Pharmaceutical Supplies for Escambia County. The Public Safety Department has reviewed the bid and recommends the award of a County Contract for the purchase of pharmaceutical supplies to Bound Tree Medical, LLC and recommends the utilization of the Minnesota Multistate Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy (MMCAP) for the most favorable pricing for Henry Schein Inc. and Cardinal Health. The multiple award approach for the purchase of pharmaceutical supplies allows the Public Safety Department to price the items from all three vendors prior to ordering and purchase at the best price at the time of ordering. Continuity of mission critical services provided by the Public Safety Department is ensured by maintaining multiple sources of pharmaceutical supplies.
