Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract for the provision of Lymphoedema Services in Morecambe Bay. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, an alternative to traditional regulations, indicating a specialised and direct procurement method without the prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process, currently at the award stage despite being labelled as an intention to award notice, is set to finalise with written representations due by 18th March 2026. The service will be provided to the region of Morecambe Bay, by Morecambe Bay Primary Care Collaborative Community Interest Company, with the service commencing on 1st October 2026 and concluding on 30th September 2029. The contract's approximate lifetime value is £1,243,394.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses experienced in providing healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in lymphoedema. Given the direct award route, businesses with existing contracts or similar service provisions within the NHS system, or those capable of meeting stringent criteria for quality and service sustainability, could consider such opportunities for future growth. This is particularly beneficial for SMEs that are adept at collaboration and integration within structured healthcare frameworks, thereby enhancing their service portfolio and regional presence. Ensuring service quality and innovation, while aligning with core healthcare goals such as improving access and reducing health inequalities, will be crucial for success in similar future procurements.
