Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned pharmacy services for the Rotherham population through locally enhanced services. The requirement is for a pharmacy provider to deliver local enhanced services alongside its existing Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) obligations. The services are intended to enhance, rather than operate separately from, the CPCF contract, with delivery dependent on the pharmacy services and local patient needs. The work is delivered in Rotherham. The named provider is Rex Pharmacy, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Rotherham. This is a healthcare services requirement, classified under pharmacy services. The arrangement concerns an existing service delivered by an existing provider, and the buyer states that different pharmacies may deliver different locally enhanced services depending on their contracts and specifications.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rex Pharmacy. The award date was 1 April 2026, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The recorded contract value is £1 in GBP, while the lifetime value is described as activity-based and unknown. The procurement used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award followed direct award process B. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, weighted at 100%, with cost weighted at 0%. One bid was recorded. NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is the buyer, and the award is active.

This award shows that NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board buys locally enhanced pharmacy services for Rotherham through the Provider Selection Regime, rather than treating them as a standalone pharmacy contract. A credible future competitor would need to hold, or work within, a Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework contract and demonstrate the ability to deliver the relevant locally enhanced services alongside those obligations. The buyer’s specification and provider model indicate that pharmacy capability, integration with existing community pharmacy services, and capacity to respond to patient activity are central. Because quality carried the entire evaluation weighting, evidence of safe, reliable and clinically appropriate delivery would matter more than price. The successful provider was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an established local pharmacy business.

Notice Title

NHS South Yorkshire ICB - Pharmacy Local Enhanced Services - Rex Pharmacy

Notice Description

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

Lot Information

Lot 1

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. 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.

This contract has been awarded following the direct award process B.

The lifetime value for this contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity.

The contract will run from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027

This is an existing service with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown as it is based on patient activity.
