## Summary

The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the "ELHT Hepatitis C Programme 26/27", focusing on providing health services in the Lancashire & South Cumbria Region. This contract, valued at £211,540, was awarded through a direct procurement method due to the lack of known alternative suppliers within the region at the time of the award. The contract period is set from 1st June 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a scheduled signature date on 23rd May 2026. This tender falls under the services category and is a direct award initiated based on the reasoning that the Trust could not deliver the service in-house.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those involved in health services, to demonstrate and expand their portfolio in the public sector. The chosen supplier, the Hepatitis C Trust, is a VCSE with substantial expertise in health services, exemplifying the preference for SMEs and VCSEs in fulfilling specialised service contracts. Businesses in the healthcare sector seeking to grow their presence in regional contracts will find this setup encouraging, particularly if they can provide niche services like those required for this programme.
