Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the Special Allocation Scheme (North West) to FCMS NW Ltd. The contract, valued at 356,268 GBP, was signed on 17th May 2024. This procurement process was carried out under extreme urgency conditions due to a lack of interest from other providers, leading to a limited procurement method without prior publication.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to engage with the NHS and deliver primary care services in the North West of England. Companies with a focus on quality service provision and cost-effectiveness would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders within the healthcare industry. The nature of the award procedure without formal competition creates avenues for agile businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and secure contracts efficiently.
