This contract, titled "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley - Bestway National Chemists Ltd Pharmacy Contract 2026/27," involves the provision of locally enhanced services in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The award follows a direct award process, facilitating the continuity of existing services provided by Bestway National Chemists Ltd. The procurement method employed was limited, bypassing prior publication of competition, and the contract duration is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses already operating within the community pharmacy sector, particularly those familiar with the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework. The contract mandates that services align closely with existing programmes, allowing businesses with relevant expertise and infrastructure to leverage this framework for growth. Organisations capable of delivering high-quality patient services at competitive local activity prices would find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities, potentially expanding their service offerings in the healthcare domain. ## Notice The provider is commissioner to deliver locally enhanced services for the Barnsley population integrated with their additional pharmacy contracts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the Provider Selection Regime. This contract is awarded to an existing provider for an existing service. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS. The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract runs from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027. ### Procurement Information The Contract Award has been made following direct award process B This contract is awarded to an existing provider for an existing service.
