Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) is initiating a procurement process for Disordered Eating Support services across North Cumbria, including areas like Carlisle, Eden, and West Cumbria. This tender, classified under miscellaneous health services, is at the planning and tender stages with submissions closing by 17 July 2026. The selective procurement process follows a restricted procedure, aiming to contract a Most Suitable Provider (MSP) with face-to-face service capabilities required at various locations. The initial contract term will commence on 1 October 2026 and end on 30 September 2027, with an estimated annual value of £80,000, potentially extending for an additional 12 months based on future funding and NENC ICB's discretion.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for service providers in the healthcare industry with the capability to establish or utilise existing suitable premises in North Cumbria. Businesses with expertise in delivering health care services, particularly those focused on disordered eating, and with a flexible operational model to cover geographical requirements, stand a good chance in securing this contract. The absence of additional funding for setting up premises implies that established organisations with existing infrastructure in the specified areas will be ideally positioned to benefit financially from this opportunity.
