## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority has completed a public procurement process for the Pharmacy Early Payments Scheme, which aims to provide early payment services to its pharmacy contractors. This contract was initiated on 1st July 2018 and spans until 30th June 2022. The procurement method was selective and called off from a framework agreement, concluding with an award announced on 5th June 2018. The project falls under the category of Corporate finance and venture capital services, with delivery expected in the North East region of England. The tender period concluded on 30th June 2018.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in financial services, particularly those specialising in corporate finance and venture capital services. Firms that can offer innovative solutions for early payment mechanisms would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes within the public sector. Given that this contract was awarded to Taulia Inc, a large supplier, smaller companies may consider forming partnerships or collaborations to enhance their competitive edge in the industry.
