## Summary

The contract titled "QHM-2025-9917 Derwent Valley Pharmacy" is managed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, United Kingdom. This procurement, classified under Health Services (CPV code 85100000), follows the Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations of 2023. The procurement method was limited and involved awarding the contract without prior competition as it was deemed to fall outside the scope of the directive. The procurement process reached the award stage on 14th October 2025. The contract is intended for services in the UKC region, with an active status starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, albeit predicated on an implied contract basis.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating within the health services sector, to engage with the NHS. As one business, Derwent Valley Pharmacy, emerged as the supplier under a non-competitive scenario due to no realistic alternative providers, it suggests potential market opportunities for other healthcare providers, especially those offering innovative and cost-effective solutions within the UK. Although the contract value is nominal at £0.01 with no guaranteed value, the activity-based nature of the services allows flexibility for businesses capable of scaling and adapting their offerings to align with healthcare delivery requirements. This opportunity may be particularly appealing to large-scale providers or consortiums looking to integrate their services within the UK healthcare framework.
