## Summary

NHS England has awarded a contract for the "Economic Analysis of Community Pharmacy" tender. The tender falls under the health services category and involves an open procedure with a value of £500,000. The procurement method is an Open procedure (above threshold), with the tender period ending on 15th November 2023. The contract period spans from 5th February 2024 to 4th November 2024. The buying organisation is NHS England based in London, UK.

This opportunity is suited for businesses in the healthcare, economic analysis, and market research sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. The tender aims to support integrated primary care services and provide clinical services to enhance individual and population health outcomes. Interested businesses should focus on offering clinical and prescribing services to strengthen NHS primary care and address access challenges in primary care.

## Notice

NHS England's vision is for the community pharmacy sector to play an increased role in the delivery of integrated primary care services to support access challenges in primary care. We expect this will help to release capacity in the wider NHS to address more acute and complex health conditions. This will help deliver the vision of integrated primary care set out by Fuller Stocktake Report. Community pharmacists and pharmacy technicians could further strengthen NHS primary care by offering a wider range of clinical, and prescribing services for improving individual, and population health. This will in part offer patient convenience and choice, as well as serve to relieve problems with accessing GP practices, and A&E departments. This economic analysis will provide NHSE with the information required to make effective commissioning decisions for the future community pharmacy sector, and will provide a robust, and detailed evidence base for any bids for funding from central Government.
