Contract Awarded for Pharmacy Services 2024

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has officially awarded the contract for Pharmacy Local Enhanced Services for the Rotherham population to Rawmarsh Pharmacy. This contract, which is effective from April 1, 2024, until March 31, 2025, confirms Rawmarsh Pharmacy as a key provider under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

Rawmarsh Pharmacy is required to deliver specifically designed services that enhance existing contracts through the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF). The nature of these services ensures they can only be provided by pharmacies that already hold this critical framework contract. The award was made following a direct award process under this regime, with a single tender received.

The financial aspect of the contract is not specified in traditional terms; instead, Rawmarsh Pharmacy will be compensated based on activity levels as they deliver services to meet public health needs, reflecting the locally mandated NHS Payment Scheme. This contracting decision was reinforced by the necessity of clear collaboration and integrated health service delivery in Rotherham, ensuring comprehensive patient care.
