Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) plans to award a contract for the Eye Care Liaison Officer (ECLO) Service under the Provider Selection Regime. The contract, valued at approximately £169,048.80, is intended to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2028. Located in the UKD4 region, this contract operates within the health services sector. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the standstill period starting from 23rd May 2026, and representations by providers due by 4th June 2026. The procurement method involved is limited, following a direct award procedure compliant with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, which bypasses a prior call for competition.

This tender represents a business growth opportunity for health service providers, especially those with the capability and experience in delivering relation-based liaison services. While the intention to award is directed at an existing provider, Galloways, businesses that can demonstrate excellence in quality, value, integration, and social value may seek similar opportunities in future engagements. The focus on improving access and reducing health inequalities makes it suitable for providers dedicated to innovatively enhancing health services. Businesses equipped to deliver high standards of service without significant operational changes will align well with the requirements specified in this procurement.
