Summary of the contracting process

South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured pharmaceutical products for its inpatient and community centres in Barnsley and Cheswold Park Hospital in Doncaster. The requirement covers supply of medicines and related pharmaceutical products to these healthcare sites. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving the area. Suppliers with pharmaceutical wholesale and supply capability relevant to institutional and community healthcare settings are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to L. Rowland and Co. (Retail) Ltd, trading as Rowlands Pharmacy. It was run as an open procedure, with one lot covering the supply requirement. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active. Its recorded value is £1,387,872; the original lot estimate was £630,000. The lot period is 1,080 days, with no renewal option. Three bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation considered commercial price, weighted at 40%, alongside quality criteria including product supply, procurement and stock management, sustainability, governance, customer service, training and transport. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026.

For the next comparable requirement from this trust, a credible supplier would need to combine dependable pharmaceutical product sourcing with disciplined procurement, stock management and storage for inpatient and community healthcare sites. The evaluation placed substantial emphasis on commercial price, but also assessed the quality of product supply, financial and clinical management information, reporting, sustainability and social value. Capabilities in pharmaceutical waste recycling and disposal, customer service, availability, transport, training, governance, data protection and security would also strengthen a bid. The award to an SME, following competition from three SME bidders, shows that this scale of NHS supply contract was competed for by smaller businesses as well as larger providers. Suppliers able to deliver consistently across Barnsley and Doncaster would be best placed to compete.
