## Summary

The NHS England has completed a procurement process for an "Economic Analysis of Community Pharmacy" service. The procurement was for health services and aimed to enhance integrated primary care services by incorporating community pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to offer clinical and prescribing services. The economic analysis, valued at £469,623, was awarded to FRONTIER ECONOMICS LIMITED. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure with a bid submission period that ended on 2024-03-23.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses within the market research services to provide economic analysis services to the NHS England. Businesses that can offer technical expertise, social value, and cost-effective solutions will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The completion of the "Economic Analysis of Community Pharmacy" service will aid NHS England in making informed commissioning decisions for the future of the community pharmacy sector, potentially leading to further growth opportunities for the awarded supplier and other similar businesses in the healthcare industry.

## 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.
