SIGMA Healthcare offshoot Sigma Hospital Services has won another tender to provide pharmaceutical products, this time to Northern Health, a key provider of public healthcare in Melbourne's north.
Pharmacy product supply to Northern Health's four major healthcare campuses located in Melbourne's north will commence from this month, the company said.
This follows Sigma Hospital Services also winning a similar deal with Western Health in Melbourne, which commenced in Jul.
Together these new contracts are worth close to $40 million per year.
Sigma Healthcare gm Peter Nolan said he believed these two new contracts showed the impact of Sigma's strong investment in the hospital wholesale market, with more growth to come.
"Sigma's hospital services business is growing rapidly and that's because we are competing aggressively in the hospital sector and establishing long-term relationships with many of the key hospital providers,'' Nolan said.
"We continue to seek opportunities to provide a differentiated pitch to the market.
"With the recent launch of our service offering in Western Australia, we continue to roll out the Sigma Hospital Services business nationally.
"We look forward to providing exceptional service levels to our customers and are excited about generating new partnerships as the business grows."
Sigma Hospital Services grew out of Sigma's acquisition of CHS in 2014, which had a Victoria only hospital business, but now has a national presence with annualised revenue around $250m and a strong pipeline of growth opportunities.
Nolan said it was the strategic focus and ongoing investment in expanding services that had brought the company to this point.
