Summary of the contracting process

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recently opted to novate their existing contract for Pharmacy Outpatient Dispensing Services to Rowlands Pharmacy due to the withdrawal of Lloyds Healthcare Pharmacy Services from this market. This decision, made under the extreme urgency directive and guided by national regulations, bypasses the usual open tender process. The contract, worth approximately £23.457 million, was signed on 25th November 2024 and will be in effect for 28 months. This procurement falls under the category of 'services' with the CPV code 85110000, 'Hospital and related services', and it is geographically focused in the UKE21 region of the United Kingdom, specifically York.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmacy services sector, particularly large-scale providers experienced in outpatient pharmaceutical dispensing services. The novation of the contract to Rowlands Pharmacy highlights the value placed on established relationships and reliability in urgent situations. Companies that can demonstrate robustness, compliance with national healthcare standards, and a capacity to manage sudden market changes will be well-positioned for similar future opportunities, either directly with the NHS Trust or through collaborative ventures within the sector.
