Community Pharmacy IT Pre-Qualification Questionnaire 2025
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS England is currently handling a public procurement process titled "Community Pharmacy IT Pre-Qualification Questionnaire 2025." This initiative aims to expand suppliers' capacity in delivering digital clinical services within community pharmacies across the UK. The buying organisation, NHS England, is located in Leeds, with the procurement being managed through NHS South Central and West CSU.
This project falls under the services category, targeting areas like medical software and pharmacy services. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a key milestone being the submission of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire by 8 December 2025. The engagement process, which is the current focus, is scheduled from 11 November to early December 2025, providing opportunities for businesses to submit their PQQs via the NHS e-Sourcing portal, Atamis.
This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers in the digital medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Businesses with competencies in data services, clinical information systems, and document management software can find growth potentials by engaging with this initiative. Given the emphasis on expanding digital service capabilities in support of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, companies that can enhance their solutions to meet NHS standards will be well-poised to succeed.
This opportunity is particularly suitable for SMEs, offering a chance to qualify and make it to the Digital Buyer's Catalogue, a significant platform for growth and visibility in the public health sector.
Following on from the Preliminary Market Engagemement Notice: Community Pharmacy IT Summer 2025, issued in August 2025, NHS England are notifying the market of the next steps. NHS England (NHSE) is seeking to expand the number of suppliers in the market and their capability to deliver digital clinical services within the Community Pharmacy (CP) marketplace in support of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan and Medium Term Planning Framework. NHSE intends to engage with suppliers to facilitate their listing via the Digital Buyer's Catalogue.
NHSE will not be undertaking any purchasing via this route, which means the requirements of Procurement Act 2023 do not apply. However, this notice services to provide transparency to the market in relation to decision making. An Engagement Process will be undertaken to identify appropriate suppliers and solution for assurance to the Buying Catalogue.
The process will be undertaken in three stages: Qualification - validates the company information of the Respondent to ensure suitability to become a supplier of services supporting public health operations, System Readiness Gateway - managing Respondent's timing through the development and assurance assessment process in line with the readiness of their system against the published NHSE Capabilities and Standards; and, Assurance Process - qualifying the Respondent's system to provide the Services through evaluation against nationally published standards This notice begins the process via the Qualification Process described above. Suppliers will be required to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), which will be evaluated to ensure that their company is suitable and that they have a solution which can be taken forward for assurance in stages 2 and 3. The current Engagement Process will close for PQQ submissions on 8 December 2025.
This will enable a tranche of suppliers to be taken forward for further stages. NHS England will introduce further tranches as demand and resources dictate.
