## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Palliative Care Medicine Services in Warrington under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process was conducted as a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and it falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This contract encompasses the provision of palliative care medicines held by selected pharmacies across Warrington. The contract, valued at approximately £7,200 annually, began on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026. The decision to award the contract was approved on 19th November 2024.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, especially those with capacities in drug management and distribution. With the service requirement situated within Warrington and managed by several active suppliers, including large entities like Asda Stores Ltd and SMEs like Dallam Pharmacy, both large-scale providers and local, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from participating in similar future contracts. The activity-based nature of this contract supports business growth through increased service delivery, fostering collaborative efforts with NHS services and local health specialists. Establishing a foothold in such initiatives can enhance a company’s profile and strategic partnership portfolios.
