## Summary

This procurement process involves NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, aiming to provide health services through a counselling service located in the UKD4 region. Classified under Health Services with CPV code 85100000, this contract's status is at the intention-to-award stage as per the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the traditional Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The final decision was endorsed by the ICB Commissioning Resource Group on 6 February 2026, and the formal decision was made on 17 February 2026. Providers must make representations by 24 March 2026, with the standstill period commencing the day after publication. The contract, expected to start on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2027, is valued approximately at £24,444, pending finalisation.

The counselling service opportunity can foster business growth, particularly for organisations that have experience in health services and a capability to meet quality standards. This tender is specifically aligned for providers that demonstrate sufficient satisfaction of existing contract requirements, as noted by the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board. Businesses that excel in service sustainability, innovation, integration, and collaboration while minimising health inequalities are well-suited for this opportunity. The limited procurement method, without prior competition call, supports incumbent providers in maintaining continuity of service and augments their growth potential in delivering valuable health services.
