Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) is in the process of planning to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the "Resilience and Prevention Service". The service entails delivering group and one-to-one mentoring sessions at Blackburn College, aimed at enhancing the mental and physical wellbeing of young people. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is geographically located in the region of UKD4, with the formal service period running from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2028. The contract, valued at approximately £70,080, follows a limited procurement method without the prior publication of a call for competition. Key decision dates include endorsement by the ICB Commissioning Resource Group on 25th June 2026 and final approval by the ICB Executive Team on 7th July 2026. The standstill period for representations by other providers ends on 12th August 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those already engaged with similar contracts and experienced in innovative value-driven service delivery. As the process focuses on a direct award to an existing provider, businesses that have established relations within the sector could leverage this to reinforce their existing contracts or showcase their capability for future opportunities. This manner of procurement assures efficiencies and continuity in service provision, aligning with criteria such as quality, integration, and service sustainability, thus favouring businesses that prioritise collaboration and value-driven results. The IMO Charity, noted as the identified supplier, exemplifies a small to medium enterprise (SME) with potential to enhance service access and reduce health inequalities in the targeted community.
