Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is awarding a contract for health services under the title "QHM-2025-7041 TLR Medical Ltd T/A Annfield Plain Pharmacy." This award falls under the industry category of health services and is located in the UKC region. The process follows a Direct Award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, with a procurement method involving no prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract start date of 1st April 2025 and an end date of 31st March 2026. The contract was signed on 1st October 2025 and is currently active.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in health services, notably in fields such as food thickening, stocking palliative drugs, tuberculosis drugs, and MECATS vouchers, to engage with a large-scale buyer like the NHS. Companies that can offer superior quality and cost-effective solutions within these services can potentially compete well in such a competitive landscape, despite the direct award nature of this contract which cites no realistic alternative providers. The nature of this procurement, which bypasses standard competitive bidding processes, may limit opportunities for new entrants but underscores the significance of maintaining relationships and demonstrating unique capabilities within existing markets.
