Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has concluded the awarding process for the NHS South Yorkshire ICB Pharmacy LCS Contract 2025-26, designated for Wickersley Pharmacy in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. This process concluded in the award stage, with the contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services classification, specifically pharmacy services, using a limited procurement method without prior publication.
The contract is part of the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply to this particular award. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmacy services, particularly those which can fulfil the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF). The contract requires providers to deliver Locally Commissioned Services (LCS) alongside the CPCF, highlighting an opportunity for pharmacies with the necessary capabilities to deliver integrated services.
While the contract is awarded based on existing service provisions, it underscores the importance of aligning with regulatory frameworks, hence encouraging pharmacies to enhance their offerings to fit within such integrated care models. This opportunity is well-suited for SMEs within the healthcare services industry looking to expand their service delivery frameworks in partnership with local healthcare providers.
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.
