## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of neurology services in South Cumbria under urgent circumstances due to the previous provider's inability to maintain consultant cover. Bespoke Healthcare Ltd has been selected for this contract, which will commence on 1 April 2025 and run until 31 March 2026, with an option to extend for an additional year. This contract award fell under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 were deemed not applicable. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the urgent need to ensure continuity of care and address patient risks that arose from service disruption.

This urgent award represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in neurology. The urgent need for a seamless transition and rapid mobilisation of services in South Cumbria means organisations with strong existing networks in the region are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Bespoke Healthcare Ltd's selection underscores the importance of regional presence and readiness to mobilise quickly, which businesses looking to grow in the healthcare sector should consider. Additionally, with the contract's significant value of £2,086,812 and potential for extension, it promises a substantial engagement that can bolster business growth for capable and agile healthcare providers.
