Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) is overseeing a procurement process for the supply of medication for the urgent treatment of COVID-19 by community pharmacies within the Surrey Heartlands ICB area. The procurement falls under the category of ‘Pharmacy services’ and is classified under CPV code 85149000. The contract has now been formally awarded following the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation and will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with a total value of £9,273.58. The contract includes provision for on-call IV services over weekends and bank holidays, along with specific per-call out, dispensing, and delivery fees. The procurement method was a direct award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and hence forgoes the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the pharmacy sector, particularly those with experience and capacity to handle urgent and rapid dispensing of antiviral medications. Pharmacies with robust operational practices, flexibility in providing service over weekends and holidays, and capability to meet high-quality standards are well-suited to compete. The awarded contractor, Medwyn Pharmacy, is an established provider that successfully met the selection criteria including integration, collaboration, service sustainability, and social value delivery, making this contract an ideal fit for businesses demonstrating similar capabilities. This tender not only supports public health initiatives but also presents a stable and financially rewarding engagement for qualified pharmacy service providers in the Surrey Heartlands region.
