Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has finalized an awarding contract under the Provider Selection Regime for the on-demand availability of intravenous antibiotics, specifically within the health services category. This contract, which was awarded to AIM RX LTD, is focused on improving patient care by maintaining a stockholding service for IV antibiotics at participating pharmacies in St Helens, Cheshire, and Merseyside. The contract was signed on 12th March 2024 and covered the period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025, with an estimated value of £1680.

The procurement process was completed through a limited awarding procedure, without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to a specific regulatory framework outside the typical Public Contracts Regulations. The procurement stage reached the award and contract implementation phase, and the contract is now active.

Businesses capable of swiftly adapting to healthcare requirements and ensuring high-quality service delivery are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Engaging in this type of procurement allows suppliers to build lasting partnerships with healthcare organisations, aiding in sustainable business growth within the regional healthcare provision landscape in Cheshire and Merseyside.
