## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract as part of a Provider Selection Regime in the health services category, focusing on the 'On Demand Availability of Intravenous Antibiotics' at St Helens Place. The procurement process adhered to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023 and did not apply the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, designated as '26-27- QYG-FCR74-01X', was initiated on the 1st April 2026 and is set to conclude on the 31st March 2027. It involves a limited procurement method, which was a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to it falling outside the scope of typical directive applications. AIM RX LTD, trading as Heath Pharmacy, located at Elephant Lane, St Helens, serves as the supplier for this contract.

This contract offers significant opportunities for pharmacies that are capable of providing community-focused health services, particularly those with expertise in managing stockholding and distribution of intravenous antibiotics. Given the limited procurement method, businesses that can establish themselves as providers without realistic alternatives are suited to pursue similar contracts. The health services sector demands reliable supply chains and service delivery, which can encourage growth for established large-scale suppliers like AIM RX LTD, while providing essential care to the community requiring intravenous antibiotic therapies. Businesses in health services with structured logistics, expertise in community pharmacy operations, and ability to deliver activity-based contracts would find this type of tender conducive to expansion and strategic positioning within the healthcare procurement landscape.

## Notice

Participating pharmacies will provide an Intravenous Antibiotic stockholding service for the patients in St Helens. The aim of the service is to improve the care of patients who require intravenous therapy in the community by ensuring pharmacies have sufficient stock of appropriate IV antibiotics during core hours.
