## Summary

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned Rotherchem Limited to deliver locally enhanced pharmacy services for the Rotherham population. The work is a healthcare service supporting local patients, delivered in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It is linked to the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF): the enhanced services are intended to operate alongside the core pharmacy contract rather than as a standalone service. The requirement concerns pharmacy-based provision, with delivery dependent on the relationship between the locally enhanced services and the provider’s CPCF obligations. The buyer is the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The procurement is classified under general-practitioner services, although the specific requirement is locally enhanced pharmacy services for people in Rotherham.

This is an awarded and active contract, with Rotherchem Limited selected through Provider Selection Regime direct award process B, without prior publication of a call for competition. The award date was 1 April 2026, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The recorded contract value is £1 GBP, while the stated lifetime value of the service is based on patient activity and is unknown. Evaluation gave 100% weighting to patient choice and 0% to price. One bid was recorded. The award is under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Procurement Act 2023. The contract is described as an existing service with an existing provider.

This award indicates demand from NHS South Yorkshire ICB for pharmacy providers able to deliver locally enhanced services to the Rotherham population. A credible competitor would need to operate as a pharmacy and hold a contract under the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework, because the enhanced services are designed to complement that framework contract. It would also need to demonstrate that it can meet the relevant service specification and support patient choice, which was the sole recorded quality consideration. The requirement is activity-led, so suppliers would need operational capacity to manage patient demand and deliver consistently within NHS healthcare arrangements. The incumbent’s SME status shows that this type of service can be delivered by a smaller pharmacy business.

## Notice

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. 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.

This contract has been awarded following the direct award process B.

The lifetime value for this contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity.

The contract will run from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027

This is an existing service with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown as it is based on patient activity.

### Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
