Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield, has completed a contracting process for delivering pharmacy local enhanced services in Rotherham, specifically through Archway Pharmacy. This contract spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 and targets the pharmacy services industry, as classified under CPV code 85149000. The contract, issued without a prior call for competition as per the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, reflects a 'limited' procurement method aligning with pre-defined criteria.
This notice confirms the contract award status as active and marks the completion stage of procurement, with no identified conflicts of interest. This tender presents substantial business growth potential for pharmacies capable of delivering Local Enhanced Services (LCS) alongside the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF). Entities involved in healthcare services, especially established pharmacies, are well positioned to pursue similar contracts, given they meet the criteria.
As the procurement was conducted under a Provider Selection Regime, opportunities may exist for similar awards in the future, particularly for service providers equipped to adapt to increasing patient activity and meeting public healthcare demands efficiently.
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 of 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 as it is based on patient activity.
