Description

NHS England is currently requesting additional information from potential suppliers.
To commisison an independent supplier to proceed with a comprehensive analysis to understand the current financial situation for pharmacy contractor models of various sizes, looking across NHS and non-NHS work, and across geographic locations. As a part of the final negotiated Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) (year 4 and year 5) deal, NHSE publicly made a binding commitment to "commission an economic analysis of NHS pharmaceutical services through an independent review, using data provided by contractors, and [to] work with PSNC on the review." This information will be critical to both NHSE and HMT inform any SR bids and future pharmacy negotiations. NHSE's vision is for the community pharmacy sector to play an increased role in the delivery of integrated primary care services to support the signifcant access challenges in primary care. This expansion is essential to release capacity in the wider NHS to address more acute and complex health conditions and to maintain the long-term economic benefit to the NHS.
