## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for pharmacy services to Asda Pharmacy, under the title "QHM-2025-7240 Asda Pharmacy". This contract, classified under CPV code 85149000, falls within the healthcare services industry category and involves activities within the UKC region. The procurement process was carried out under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically utilising a Direct Award Process C, thereby bypassing the typical competitive tender process. The contract begins on 1 April 2025 and concludes on 31 March 2026. The services are activity-based with no guaranteed contract value, and thus, financial details remain unspecified.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses already involved or planning to engage in providing healthcare services, particularly those specialising in pharmacy. It is especially advantageous for companies capable of fulfilling activity-based contracts where payment is tied to service delivery rather than a fixed value. The procuring entity's choice to focus on an existing provider for this contract highlights the importance of demonstrating capacity and compliance with key regulatory standards. Businesses that can showcase high-quality service delivery and adaptability to such regulatory frameworks will have a competitive edge in this and similar future opportunities within the public healthcare procurement sector.
