Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of a Crisis Café service in Morecambe Bay, classified under the health services industry category with a CPV code of 85100000. The procurement was completed using a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime, bypassing the traditional Public Contracts Regulations. Key dates include the formal contract award date of 3rd March 2025, with the service contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £171,456, highlighting the significance of the project for the local healthcare infrastructure. The procurement process was in the tender update stage on 16th January 2026, ensuring compliance and providing final confirmations about the contract.

This tender provides notable growth opportunities for businesses in the health services sector. Companies that specialise in mental health services, particularly those with experience in community support and crisis intervention, would be well-positioned to engage with similar opportunities. The existing provider, Mind in Furness, was awarded the contract through a limited procurement method, suggesting that businesses should be prepared to demonstrate their service quality and value, as well as their capacity to meet specific social value criteria. This highlights the necessity for businesses to align their offerings with public health priorities and to continuously innovate to meet evolving service demands. Businesses with a focus on improving access, integration, and sustainability in health services will find opportunities to expand within this framework.
