## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract for the provision of community health services, including GPwSI Carpal Tunnel, Hernia, Minor Surgery, and Vasectomy Services. This procurement falls under the Health Services category and is located in the UKD1 region. The intention to award notice, adhering to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, indicates that NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB is planning a direct award to the existing provider, Cumbria Medical Services (Carlisle Healthcare). The final decision to award was made by the Executive Team on 17th February 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026. Providers who wish to make representations must do so by 24th March 2026. The procurement method utilised is limited, without prior publication, due to the existing provider's satisfactory performance.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services. Particularly, it suits established providers that have previously demonstrated a capability to meet performance standards in community health services, given the procurement’s focus on continuity and service quality. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in health service delivery, especially in minor surgical and GPwSI sectors, are well-positioned to leverage this contract for expansion. The contract’s focus on quality over price underscores the importance for competing businesses to emphasise innovation, integration, and sustainability in their service offerings to successfully capture such opportunities.
