## Summary

The procurement process for the "Outpatient Pharmacy Dispensing Service" was initiated by the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. This tender falls under the industry category of pharmacy services and is classified as a services procurement. It concerns the provision of outpatient pharmacy dispensing, including medicines and over-the-counter products, at the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary located in the UKE44 region. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its qualification for the Regulation 12 'In-House' exemption. The contract was awarded to Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Ltd on 18th February 2026, with the contract having been signed earlier on 6th February 2026.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in pharmacy services, particularly those capable of providing outpatient dispensing solutions. With a substantial contract value of £188,000,000, firms specialising in pharmaceuticals and healthcare services may find lucrative potential for collaboration and expansion. As the procurement process was exempt from competitive procedures, it is primarily applicable to businesses similar in structure to Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Ltd that operate closely with public authorities. Companies that are wholly owned and controlled by contracting authorities, focusing on health sector activities, may particularly benefit from understanding such procurement mechanisms when aiming to grow their scope within the public sector.
