Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process for Primary Care - Pharmacy Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically focusing on pharmacy services, and covers areas such as Need Exchange and Harm Reduction Service, Opiate Substitute Supervised Consumption Service, Sexual Health Services, and a Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Voucher Scheme. Contracts were awarded via Direct Award B of the Provider Selection Regime centred on Patient Choice, and activity led payment models were employed. The contract has been awarded and signed with an effective date from 1st April 2025. This project is located in North Yorkshire within the UKE region, and the procurement method was limited, sans a prior call for competition.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies operating within the pharmacological and health service sectors. Businesses that can provide comprehensive solutions for harm reduction, medication dispensing, sexual health, and nicotine replacement are well-positioned to compete. Large enterprises, as well as SMEs—evidenced by the involvement of entities like Boots UK Limited and Filey Medical Services Limited—have successfully participated in this process, illustrating the diversity of business scales that can benefit from such contracts. Collaboration with regional health services and leveraging patient-focused outcomes can provide competitive advantages in this sector.
