Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract to MediFast Delivery Ltd, trading as MediFast Delivery Pharmacy, for the provision of community pharmacy locally commissioned services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) with a direct award process. This contract, designated as a pharmacy services industry category, covers service provision from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 in the Sheffield area. The procurement method was limited, bypassing the call for competition, in line with the regulations set by the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023. The contract was signed on 17th November 2025, following an award made on the same date, with procurement details noting a focus on patient choice, the sole evaluation criterion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses involved in pharmacy services, particularly those adept in providing community-based health services. Since the award decision was heavily influenced by patient choice, businesses excelling in patient satisfaction and locally tailored services may find this contract appealing. SMEs in the healthcare space, especially those practising within the Sheffield region, are well-positioned to leverage such contracts due to the focus on localised service provision. The inherent flexibility in contract value tied to patient activity ensures that responsive and efficient service delivery could lead to substantial financial returns over the contract term.
