Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has successfully awarded a contract for pharmacy services to Boots UK Ltd under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This contract is an enhancement of existing pharmacy services aimed at the Barnsley population, operating from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, evaluated based on patient choice and not price, reflects the specific requirement for integration with the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF), emphasising the critical interdependency between the two services. This award decision was made by the Chief Finance Officer of NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley, with no conflicts of interest noted.

This tender offers a significant growth opportunity for pharmacies that can meet the stringent criteria of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework and deliver Locally Commissioned Services (LCS) in conjunction. While the contract was directly awarded to an existing provider, the PSR framework does not limit the number of qualified providers, thus encouraging competition among eligible pharmacies. Businesses with a strong foundation in pharmacy services and the ability to integrate extra services seamlessly would find this contract advantageous. This contract not only assures a secure revenue stream based on local pricing activities but also enhances the service provider's market position in South Yorkshire, particularly within the Barnsley region.

Pharmacy Contract 2024/25. Boots UK Ltd

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract Award has been made following direct award process B of the Provider Selection Regime.

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.

The contract will run from 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. The provider is paid ion an activity basis based on local prices. This is an existing service delivered by an existing provider.
