Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has concluded the contract for a "Crisis / Drop In Service" within the health services sector, addressing specific areas in Greater Preston and Chorley and South Ribble. With the procurement method adhering to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this contract was awarded through a direct process, bypassing the typical call for competition. The contract, valued at £359,670, began on 1st April 2025 and will be valid until 31st March 2026, marking its completion stage. This initiative underscores NHS Lancashire's commitment to addressing health service provisions in the UKD4 region, specifically targeting the enhancement of existing services without the application of new competition processes.

This procurement creates substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the health services sector capable of meeting stringent quality and integration standards. The tender favours existing providers like WayThrough, indicating an emphasis on continuity and service quality, promoting stability within the region's health services. Fast-growing health service businesses keen on expanding in health innovation, reducing health inequalities, and enhancing regional accessibility could leverage similar opportunities to align with public sector standards, drawing from the successful model employed by the incumbent provider. This assurance of existing contracts can prompt external businesses to refine their offerings to compete effectively in subsequent tenders.
