## Summary

The East of England NHS Collaborative Hub has awarded a contract titled "Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust Pharmacy Provision-CF Award" for Pharmacy Services as defined under Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £24,300,000, commenced on 1st April 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2023. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method akin to a competitive dialogue, with the award published on 22nd July 2020. The services will be delivered across the East of England, particularly in Cambridgeshire.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for established pharmaceutical providers and related businesses to engage in the provision of healthcare services. Businesses specialising in pharmaceutical stock supply, dispensing, and health service management would be particularly well-suited to compete. The nature of the services underscores a need for collaboration and innovation in delivering community health services, which may lead to further partnerships and extended service contracts based on performance excellence.
