## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for the provision of Eye Care Liaison Officer (ECLO) services. This falls under the health services category, with the service located in the UKD4 region. The procurement follows a Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the formal awarding pending. Representations must be submitted by 4th June 2026, following the standstill period starting 23rd May 2026. The contract, expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029, is valued at approximately £231,981.18.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in vision and eye care services. Organisations like N-Vision, the existing provider, are well-suited due to their established provision of similar services and capability to meet the criteria of quality, innovation, and service sustainability. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on improving access and reducing health inequalities in local communities could also find this tender aligns well with their business growth strategies. The method employed—a limited procurement process via direct award—suggests opportunities for businesses already working closely with public health contracts and those that can demonstrate a robust capacity for collaboration and integration within established frameworks.
