## Summary

The UK PharmaScan Redevelopment Phases tender, managed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), focuses on IT services. It is located in Manchester, UK, with the postal code M1 3BN. The process involves a series of procurements to develop and implement a new version of the UK PharmaScan service. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and has reached the award stage. The initial award was made on 5th December 2025, and the contract starts on 8th December 2025, ending on 7th December 2028. The value of the contract is £1,600,000, and it does not specifically cater to SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in IT consulting, software development, and support services to engage with a significant project that aims to innovate healthcare information systems. Firms with experience in comprehensive IT service delivery could find excellent scope for business growth through participation or partnership in such a comprehensive redevelopment programme. Although the procurement process does not expressly favour SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, well-established IT firms with framework agreement experience will be well-suited to compete effectively in this sector spearheaded by NICE.
