The procurement process has completed the award stage, with the contract awarded to Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The services are intended to be delivered across various locations, including the United Kingdom and other international destinations.

The entire contract management is requisitioned under the service category with specific attention to meeting regional and international delivery addresses.

This tender presents an important growth opportunity for established businesses in the pharmacy services sector that have the capability to deliver complex service extensions within the specified regions. While smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises are noted as unsuitable for this tender, large-scale organisations like Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust have successfully secured the contract, indicating that similar large entities with robust logistics and operational capabilities could thrive in comparable future procurement opportunities initiated by NHS England.
