## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board recently finalised the contract award for the provision of Family Autism Support services in Pennine Lancashire. The contract, worth approximately £117,367, runs from 1 June 2024 to 31 March 2025. Classified under Health Services (CPV code 85100000), this award follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, thus exempting it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement was executed using a direct award process (route C), owing to the satisfactory performance of the existing provider and the minimal changes to service requirements. Key dates include the awarding date on 2 October 2024 and the intention to award notice period ending 1 October 2024.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in health services and autism support. Companies with strong track records in these areas can leverage their expertise to meet rigorous quality and innovation standards, value-for-money criteria, and social value considerations. Given the comprehensive assessment confirmed that the current provider meets all selection criteria, other businesses aiming to compete should focus on demonstrating exceptional capabilities in service sustainability, improving access, and reducing health inequalities. The buying organisation, NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, underscores the importance of collaboration and integration, making this an ideal opportunity for enterprises skilled in holistic and inclusive health service delivery.
