## Summary

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the provision of a Macular Service in West Lancashire. The procurement falls within the health industry category, specifically targeting ophthalmologist services, and is classified under CPV code 85121281. The procurement method is limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. It is currently at the award stage, with the standstill period beginning after 10th March 2026 and representations required by 23rd March 2026. The key dates include the planned start of the contract on 1st April 2026 and its conclusion on 31st March 2027. The buying organisation’s headquarters is located in Preston, UK.

For businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with expertise in ophthalmology, this contracting process might present growth opportunities. Although the contract is intended for an existing provider, SpaMedica Ltd, based in Bolton, the selection process emphasises quality, innovation, and service sustainability. Business entities capable of maintaining high standards in these areas or offering collaborative partnerships may benefit from future opportunities with NHS Integrated Care Boards. The focus on reducing health inequalities and improving access to care underlines a demand for providers who can demonstrate significant social value. As interest is subject to direct award due to existing satisfactory provision, emerging firms might engage indirectly through subcontracts or collaborative roles.
