The procurement process, governed by the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, concluded with the award stage on 19th June 2025, where contracts were signed with selected suppliers. This project pertains to services located in the Yorkshire region, specifically encompassing various health-related services such as needle exchange, opiate substitute consumption, sexual health services, and nicotine replacement therapy. The procurement method selected was a limited procedure employing a direct award process without prior publication for competition due to specific regulatory exemptions. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the health care sector, particularly those providing pharmacy services, to expand by participating in regional health service provision. Large enterprises such as Day Lewis PLC, alongside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Trimdon Healthcare Limited and Derwent Pharmacy Limited, successfully secured contracts, illustrating that there are chances for businesses of various scales to compete favourably. Companies with expertise in harm reduction services, drug supervision, sexual health facilitation, and nicotine therapy could find viable growth avenues by leveraging similar contractual opportunities within other local health authorities. The focus on patient choice as a quality criterion further indicates that businesses with strong customer-centric approaches could thrive in future tenders. ## Notice Pharmacy Services include: Need Exchange and Harm Reduction Service - The provision of a safe needle exchange programme, providing service users with sterile needles and syringes; injecting paraphernalia; and sharps containers for return of used injecting equipment.
