## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board involves the provision of a Bereavement by Suicide Support service in Blackburn with Darwen. Classified under the health services industry category, this contract falls under a direct award process within the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was officially awarded on 3rd March 2025, with a commencement date of 1st April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2028, holding a total contract value of £339,117. The procurement process was conducted as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, given that the services provided by the existing supplier, Listening Ear/Amparo, continue to satisfy the required criteria.

This contract presents valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in health services and support sector operations. While the contract has already been awarded to an existing provider, businesses can gain insights into the selection criteria focusing on quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, and social value, which were pivotal in the award decision. Enterprises looking to engage in similar future opportunities should ensure robust capabilities in improving access, reducing health inequalities, and upholding service sustainability, thereby aligning themselves with the expected standards and criteria set by public procurement authorities like the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board.
