## Summary

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Paramedic Emergency Services, classified under CPV code 85143000 as ambulance services. This contract, initiated through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR), serves the North West region. It follows a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at approximately £478 million, commences on 1st April 2026 and concludes on 31st March 2027. The decision to award was endorsed by the ICB Commissioning Resource Group on the 6th February 2026 and finalised by the LSC ICB Executive Committee on the 17th February 2026. The NHS Greater Manchester, Cheshire & Merseyside, North East & North Cumbria, and Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Boards are associates to this contract.

This award represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in ambulance and paramedic services, particularly those already established in the North West region, to participate in high-value contracts with NHS Trusts. Despite the lack of competitive bidding in this tender process, companies providing quality emergency healthcare services can leverage such contracts to enhance their service offerings and expand their market presence. The contract aligns with large-scale providers, as indicated by the selection of North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, which underscores the demand for robust capabilities in delivering specialised emergency services across the specified geographical area.
