## Summary

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Hull, has awarded a contract for the provision of Pharmacy Outpatient Dispensing Services to Rowlands Pharmacy. This contract falls under the health services industry category (CPV 85100000) and the service will be delivered in the UKE region. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 21st October 2024. This follows an urgent need disclosed on 19th August 2024, when Lloyds Healthcare Pharmacy Services indicated they would exit the market by the end of December 2024. Due to stringent time constraints, the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies in the healthcare and pharmacy services sector. It particularly suits businesses capable of swiftly adapting to urgent service demands, given the severe time constraints disclosed. Large-scale service providers like Rowlands Pharmacy, who have the capacity to meet existing contract terms under short notice, would be well-suited to compete in similar urgent procurement scenarios. Future opportunities could also arise from the need for efficient and rapid responses to changes in service provision within public health frameworks.
