Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "SPS Contract Extension" involves NHS England as the buying organisation, located in London. The contract is in the pharmacy services industry category and spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a value of £232,458.70. Currently at the award stage, the awarded supplier is Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. This process, recorded under the classification scheme CPV with the ID 85149000, covers services within the UK, specifically mentioned to be in postal code SE1 8UG. Although the contract status is marked as complete, this process highlights an ongoing extension in contractual terms within a predefined timeframe.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for organisations capable of providing specialised pharmacy services. Ideal candidates would be larger entities rather than SMEs or VCSEs, due to the current suitability specifics of the procurement, which do not favour these scales. The procurement method is classified as "Other," indicating a less conventional approach, potentially opening avenues for those familiar with bespoke engagement frameworks. Businesses with a proven track record in healthcare services could leverage this extension to strengthen their relationship with NHS England and explore long-term strategic alliances.
