## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is progressing through the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of Community Pain Management Services, classified under CPV category 85100000, "Health services". The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 rather than the standard Public Contracts Regulations. The procurement method is limited and falls outside the scope of the usual directive. The intended contract start date is 1 May 2026, with a duration extending until 30 April 2030, and represents a potential value of £2,029,280 over the entire lifetime, subject to finalisation. Key deadlines include the end of the standstill period on 24 March 2026, during which representations can be submitted by providers to the authority.

This tender process, poised for potential award to Cora Health Limited, opens opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services industry, particularly those specialising in pain management and community healthcare solutions. Firms with a proven track record of service provision in similar health domains, particularly those that focus on quality and innovation, integration, and collaboration, can find significant opportunities for growth through partnership and service delivery expansion. The direct award process to the existing provider suggests potential stability and continuity, favouring enterprises capable of aligning with established frameworks and demonstrating the capability of service sustainability and value delivery within the parameters set by the NHS Integrated Care Board. Businesses focused on reducing health inequalities and improving access for local communities in the UKD4 region are particularly well-suited to thrive.
