## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Preston, awarded a contract for the provision of a Centralised Virtual Triage (CVT) Service under urgent circumstances as per the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. Due to the abrupt withdrawal of the previous service provider, this award was made to ensure continuity in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspected skin cancer. The procurement process, identified as a limited method without prior publication of a competitive call, culminated in the award to Buckshaw Village Surgery. The contract, valued at £200,000, commenced on 17th April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, focusing on health services within the UKD4 region.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health services capable of swiftly adapting to urgent service delivery needs. Businesses like Buckshaw Village Surgery can leverage their agility and expertise to provide essential health services under demanding timelines, reinforcing their reputation and potentially opening the door to future contracts. This procurement underscores the value of businesses that can address immediate risks to safety and quality of care, which are critical criteria in urgent procurement decisions.
