Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) rather than the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023. This procurement relates to health services, specifically the 'Community Genetics - Better Beginnings' service, aimed at supporting initiatives like tackling obesity and diabetes through community genetics in Pennine Lancashire. This is a limited procurement method with no prior call for competition, reflecting a direct award approach. The procurement stage is currently at the intention to award phase following a standstill period that commenced from the publication date. Representations from providers must be submitted by 18th March 2026, with the contract's delivery scheduled from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028. The contract has a projected lifetime value of £164,310, though this figure awaits final confirmation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those offering innovative solutions in genetics, patient outreach, and collaboration within health sectors. The contract is geared towards community engagement and addressing health inequalities, thus businesses with expertise in social value and improving health service accessibility are well-positioned to compete. Given the focus on existing provider satisfaction and service sustainability, businesses with a proven track record in delivering consistent quality and innovative health services aligned with these objectives can expect growth opportunities through successful participation in such procurement processes. The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is the buying organisation, and businesses interested in such contracts should consider building relationships with similar public health entities to enhance tender success rates.
