Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Service in East Lancashire, conducted by the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, involved an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The procurement falls within the health services category and does not follow the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to its specific regime. The procurement method was a direct award procedure without prior publication, with Pendle Leisure Trust Ltd, an existing provider, intended as the supplier. The tender process included a standstill period, allowing for representations until 11th March 2025. This intended award process was endorsed by the ICB Commissioning Resource Group and the final decision was made by the LSC ICB Executive Team on 4th February 2025. The contract's estimated value is £310,061, with services set to commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2028.

This tender opportunity highlights potential for business growth primarily for organisations within the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in rehabilitation services. Companies with a strong track record in quality and innovation, integration, collaboration, and sustainability in service delivery stand to benefit from similar procurement processes. Though this particular tender was targeted at an existing provider, it underscores the importance for SMEs in the health services industry to maintain high standards and potentially serve as preferred partners for direct awards in the future. It offers insights into the criteria valued by public health authorities, such as improving access, reducing inequalities, and facilitating choice, providing a roadmap for other businesses aiming to secure similar contracts.
