Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for the provision of Community ENT Services, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement is classified under the health services category (CPV code: 85100000) and involves a direct award process to an existing provider. Although the contract formal signing took place on 17th February 2026, an intention to award notice was published on 22nd May 2026, with a standstill period active until 4th June 2026. Located in Preston, the contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a tentative value assessed at £910,603.03.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses particularly involved in healthcare services to establish or expand their participation in the public sector. Given the direct award to an existing provider, companies already supplying high-quality health services with a proven track record, particularly in the North West (UKD4 region), are best suited to leverage this procurement process. This opportunity underscores the importance of maintaining service quality, integration, and innovation while focusing on reducing health inequalities and improving access, allowing such businesses to gain a reputable position in the healthcare industry.
