Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has recently awarded a contract for the provision of a Diagnostic Interpretation Service (Telehealth), classified under Health services (CPV: 85100000). This contract covers services in the UKD4 region, specifically Preston, from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, utilising a direct award process. The formal award took place on 2nd July 2025, following internal decision-making processes confirmed on 6th May 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses in the telehealth and diagnostic interpretation sectors. Though the contract was awarded directly to an existing provider, it highlights the demand for innovative telehealth services within the healthcare system. Companies that excel in quality, integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, along with having the capability to reduce health inequalities and facilitate choice, would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities. The focus on specialised diagnostic services and telehealth solutions represents a significant growth area, particularly for SMEs adept in these healthcare technologies.
