What is being bought

Following on from the Preliminary Market Engagemement Notice: Community Pharmacy IT Summer 2025, issued in August 2025, NHS England are notifying the market of the next steps. NHS England (NHSE) is seeking to expand the number of suppliers in the market and their capability to deliver digital clinical services within the Community Pharmacy (CP) marketplace in support of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan and Medium Term Planning Framework. NHSE intends to engage with suppliers to facilitate their listing via the Digital Buyer's Catalogue. NHSE will not be undertaking any purchasing via this route, which means the requirements of Procurement Act 2023 do not apply. However, this notice services to provide transparency to the market in relation to decision making. An Engagement Process will be undertaken to identify appropriate suppliers and solution for assurance to the Buying Catalogue. The process will be undertaken in three stages: Qualification - validates the company information of the Respondent to ensure suitability to become a supplier of services supporting public health operations, System Readiness Gateway - managing Respondent's timing through the development and assurance assessment process in line with the readiness of their system against the published NHSE Capabilities and Standards; and, Assurance Process - qualifying the Respondent's system to provide the Services through evaluation against nationally published standards This notice begins the process via the Qualification Process described above. Suppliers will be required to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), which will be evaluated to ensure that their company is suitable and that they have a solution which can be taken forward for assurance in stages 2 and 3. The current Engagement Process will close for PQQ submissions on 8 December 2025. This will enable a tranche of suppliers to be taken forward for further stages. NHS England will introduce further tranches as demand and resources dictate.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Medical software package (48180000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 483,5501 median · 6.1 average (1,174 of 3,550 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,346 of 3,550 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "NHS England (NHSE) is seeking to expand the number of suppliers in the market and their capability to deliver digital clinical services within the Community Pharmacy (CP) marketplace in support of the NHS 10 Year Plan.\nTo support this, the NHSE National Commercial & Procurement Hub intends to operate a market engagement process.  This market engagement process will seek to establish the extent of interest within the wider marketplace.  This will kick-off the procurement process that NHSE intends to operate. This process will result in qualified parties being included on the Digital Buyer's Catalogue and awarded a framework contract.\nNHSE intends to identify the extent of market interest and the readiness of interested parties to deliver against the published Capability Standards for CPIT Services.\nThe market engagement period of 7-weeks will commence on 1st September 2025 and close at 5pm on Monday 20th October 2025. Interested parties must use the Atamis procurement portal to engage, ask questions and provide feedback throughout the market engagement period. Details about accessing the opportunity via Atamis can be found below. \nThe NHSE National Commercial and Procurement Hub will issue a market engagement questionnaire enabling suppliers to provide   information on their company and solution(s).\nThe first webinar will be held on the 11th September 2025 and provide further information on the market engagement.",
