## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law, is in the procurement stage of awarding a contract specifically concerned with health services. The process involves a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, and it does not fall under the Procurement Act 2023 or Procurement Regulations 2024. The contract, titled "QHM-2025-9499 Alrahi & Singh (Pharmacy Express)," focuses on the stocking of palliative drugs and will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, located in the UKC region. The procurement method is limited, with rationale for non-competitive awarding based on the absence of a realistic alternative provider.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for large-scale businesses in the health services sector, especially those experienced in pharmacy supply, to secure contracts under exceptional procurement processes. Alrahi & Singh (Pharmacy Express) is set to be the provider for this service, underlining the need for potential competitors to have well-established operations and expertise in delivering health-related services. With the already active status, businesses aiming to contribute to NHS initiatives, especially in providing specialised pharmaceutical products, could find similar opportunities for growth.
