UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria has undertaken a direct award procurement process to secure Force Medical Advisor Services. This contract caters to making decisions about medical fitness for roles and managing complex medical cases for the employees of the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner (PFCC), Cumbria Constabulary, and the Cumbria Fire & Rescue Services. The services are classified under the industry category of health services. The procurement, labelled as complete, commenced on 1st April 2026, with the initial contract set to end on 31st March 2027. There is an option to extend the contract for another year until 31st March 2028. The procurement method was direct, noting it was below threshold and acquired without competition, as part of the light touch regime.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health and advisory services for public safety and emergency services sectors. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like SALSAM LIMITED, which was awarded the contract, could find it advantageous to engage with such contracts that require medical expertise and advisory capacity for public service personnel. Businesses experienced in offering occupational health or medical advisory services, particularly those familiar with handling complex cases, will be well-suited for similar future opportunities as the Cumbria region's public safety sectors plan to undergo collaborative procurement exercises in 2027.
