Boots UK Ltd Buyer: NHS SOUTH YORKSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD Current stage: Award OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-049c1a [View canonical contract page](https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-049c1a) [Download OCDS JSON](https://d3tenders.com/contract/ocds-h6vhtk-049c1a.json) ## Summary The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has successfully awarded a contract for pharmacy services to Boots UK Ltd under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This contract is an enhancement of existing pharmacy services aimed at the Barnsley population, operating from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, evaluated based on patient choice and not price, reflects the specific requirement for integration with the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF), emphasising the critical interdependency between the two services. This award decision was made by the Chief Finance Officer of NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley, with no conflicts of interest noted. This tender offers a significant growth opportunity for pharmacies that can meet the stringent criteria of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework and deliver Locally Commissioned Services (LCS) in conjunction. While the contract was directly awarded to an existing provider, the PSR framework does not limit the number of qualified providers, thus encouraging competition among eligible pharmacies. Businesses with a strong foundation in pharmacy services and the ability to integrate extra services seamlessly would find this contract advantageous. This contract not only assures a secure revenue stream based on local pricing activities but also enhances the service provider's market position in South Yorkshire, particularly within the Barnsley region. ## Notice The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population integrated with their additional pharmacy contracts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This contract Award has been made following direct award process B of the Provider Selection Regime. These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS. The contract will run from 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. The provider is paid ion an activity basis based on local prices. This is an existing service delivered by an existing provider. ### Procurement Information This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award. The contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The decision to award was made by the NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley place Chief Finance Officer. No conflicts of interest were identified. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029943-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH YORKSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 3FG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE3 South Yorkshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BOOTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85149000 - Pharmacy services ## Release History - 19 Sep 2024 at 08:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029943-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.boots-uk.com - https://www.southyorkshire.icb.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
