Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has confirmed the award of a contract for the community pharmacy supply of dressings to nursing homes in Sefton Place. This procurement process, governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, focuses on health services. The contract was awarded via a direct award method without prior publication of a call for competition and commenced on 1st April 2026 with an expiration date of 31st March 2027. The procurement method was limited, and industry engagement took place to ensure the contract met the criterion that there was no realistic alternative provider. Located in various community pharmacies across Sefton Place, the process is now at the award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for pharmacies specialising in health services, particularly those capable of supplying dressings timely and efficiently to nursing homes. As the contract is activity-based, participating organisations can leverage growth through consistent demand. It is ideal for SMEs in the pharmacy sector that can demonstrate quality in service provision. The award to multiple suppliers, including AV Pharma Limited and Sharief Healthcare Ltd, enables these businesses to expand their customer base in the UKD73 region, fostering community health support and expanding operations without the need for GP-issued prescriptions for dressings.
