Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process for the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board involves the award of a contract to Anston Healthcare Ltd for the provision of pharmacy services. This contract, governed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, is classified under the CPV code 85149000, focusing on pharmacy services. The geographic focus is Rotherham in the United Kingdom, with the contract being scheduled from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.
The procurement was conducted through a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition and the procurement falls outside of the scope of the Procurement Act 2023. The awarding stage of the procurement is currently complete, with the final confirmation provided on 20th November 2025. This tender offers potential growth opportunities for businesses specialised in healthcare services, particularly those with experience or existing frameworks in pharmacy services.
Anston Healthcare Ltd has been selected to deliver locally enhanced services due to their existing capabilities under the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework, which underscores the need for interdependency between community pharmacy services and the new locally commissioned services. Businesses who have established arrangements within the NHS framework could explore similar opportunities, should the criteria and framework align with their existing service capabilities.
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS.<br/><br/>This contract has been awarded following the direct award process B.<br/><br/>The lifetime value for this contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity.<br/><br/>The contract will run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026<br/><br/>This is an existing service with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme
