Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Independent Prescribing Pathfinder" by NHS Devon ICB focuses on pharmacy services within the UK, particularly in the County of Devon. The contracting authority, NHS Devon Integrated Care Board, has utilised the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to award the contract, bypassing traditional Public Contracts Regulations. The contract, with a value of approximately £57,024, was awarded on 4th June 2024 for a term of one year. The procurement is in the 'Award' stage with no representations or conflicts of interest declared. The intended direct award was initially published on 22nd May 2024, and interested providers had until 3rd June 2024 to make representations.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmacy services sector, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in the Devon region or those specialising in health care innovations and service sustainability. The direct award process suggests potential for ongoing collaboration with NHS Devon ICB, which prioritises social value, integration, and improving health access. Pharmacies, independent pharmacists, and health care providers with a proven track record in delivering quality healthcare services would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. The multiple awards to suppliers like Boots UK Ltd and Day Lewis PLC highlight the competitive nature and potential for business growth in providing specialised health services.
