Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board sought an Integrated Urgent Care service for West Lancashire. The scope covered a co-located Urgent Treatment Centre, a Walk-in Centre, Deep Vein Thrombosis services and a Clinical Assessment Service. These services were intended to integrate with the wider 24/7 urgent and emergency care system and support the standards and expectations set out in the NHS Constitution. The work would have been delivered in West Lancashire. NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit acted as the ICB’s agent during the procurement. This is a healthcare services requirement, classified under CPV 85100000. The requirement was treated as a single contract rather than being divided into separate service lots.

The Provider Selection Regime competitive process was abandoned and the ICB confirmed that no contract was awarded. The abandonment was recorded on 4 August 2026 after representations were received during the standstill period and the ICB concluded that continuing was not viable. The procurement used a limited procedure, described as an award without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Price was the stated award criterion, and 11 bids were recorded. The estimated maximum value was £3,814,955 per year, or £19,074,775 over five years. The procurement had previously reached an outcome stage, but its recorded lot status is cancelled and the process did not result in an award.

This requirement demonstrates demand from the ICB for an integrated urgent care provider able to deliver several linked clinical services as one operating model. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to run or coordinate urgent treatment, walk-in, DVT and clinical assessment functions, while connecting them with the wider 24/7 urgent and emergency care pathway. The service model calls for dependable clinical delivery, operational integration and the ability to meet NHS patient-focused standards. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, so suppliers would also need a disciplined cost model alongside evidence that they can sustain service quality at the required scale. The procurement attracted 11 bids, indicating competition from established healthcare providers.
