Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) services under urgent circumstances as defined by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract, classified under the health services industry category (CPV code 85100000), covers the geographical region of UKD4. The procurement process followed a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract commenced on 01 October 2024 and is set to end on 31 August 2025. The urgency of the award was driven by escalated cases within the Integrated Care Board (ICB) area, particularly involving children and adults with severe and high-risk ARFID conditions that required immediate intervention.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering specialist dietetic and psychological expertise. Organisations that provide bespoke interventions for eating disorders, especially ARFID, are well-suited to compete in this market. The awarded contract to Wren Psychology Ltd, a private sector SME, highlights the demand for innovative and tailored health solutions. Businesses capable of addressing complex and urgent healthcare needs, offering both remote and face-to-face services, can leverage similar opportunities to expand their reach and impact within the healthcare sector.
