Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, specifically targeting the Asda Pharmacy contract for the fiscal year 2026/27. The contracting process involves pharmacy services with a focus on locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population. This project falls under the Health industry category and is located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The decision to award the contract was confirmed on 29th April 2026, following a Provider Selection Regime process under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses in the pharmacy sector, particularly those adept in integrating enhanced services alongside existing pharmacy frameworks. Businesses that hold contracts under the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and can deliver locally enhanced services (LCS) alongside their core operations will find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities. While the process utilised is a limited procurement method characterised by the direct award, it nonetheless presents growth potential for existing pharmacy service providers poised to expand their service offerings within South Yorkshire's healthcare landscape. As the sole supplier, Asda Pharmacy, this contract highlights the strategic position for large-scale pharmacy entities aiming to fortify their presence in regional healthcare services.

Notice Title

NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley - Asda Pharmacy Contract 2026/27

Notice Description

The provider is commissioner to deliver locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population integrated with their additional pharmacy contracts.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the Provider Selection Regime.

This contract is awarded to an existing provider for an existing service. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices.

The contract runs from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027.
