## Summary

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board invites tenders for the provision of a Community Tier 2 Gynaecology Service. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 17 August 2026. The contract aims to offer a non-consultant led, community-based service for assessment, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatment of routine benign gynaecological conditions. This service is set to be delivered across central and west Lancashire, south Cumbria and north Lancashire, Blackpool Fylde and Wyre, and east Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen. The contract will commence on 1 January 2027 and conclude on 31 December 2029, with an option for a two-year extension until the end of 2031. The total annual contract value is £10,269,408.34, excluding VAT. The procurement falls under the health services category and is to be procured using an open procedure, accessible to qualified providers through electronic submission.

This contract presents opportunities for healthcare providers specializing in secondary care gynaecology services to expand their operations within the UK regions mentioned. The prime provider model encourages single legal entities to bid, although collaborative delivery, consortia bids, and subcontracting arrangements are also welcomed, provided that the prime provider maintains absolute accountability. Businesses with expertise in delivering non-surgical interventions, regional healthcare coverage, and those capable of managing large-scale healthcare services could benefit significantly from this tender. Successful bidders will be key partners in restructuring regional healthcare services, making a substantial impact on the delivery of gynaecological care and potentially fostering innovative service delivery models.

## Notice

The Relevant Authority is looking to commission an appropriate provider for a Community Tier 2 Gynaecology Service to provide a long-term transformational solution to the current demand and capacity for gynaecological secondary care services. The service will provide a non-consultant led, community-based service for assessment, diagnosis and non-surgical treatment for routine benign gynaecological conditions delivered across the entirety of the Lancashire and South Cumbria operational footprint which covers four places: * Central and West Lancashire * South Cumbria and North Lancashire * Blackpool Fylde and Wyre * East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen. To ensure clinical equity, standardised governance, and unfragmented patient care pathways, this service will be procured as a single contract to one single prime provider. While this contract will be awarded strictly to a single legal entity, this does not exclude collaborative delivery, consortia bids, or subcontracting arrangements. Organisations may form partnerships or utilise supply chains to deliver localised elements of the service (e.g., specific clinical interventions or geographical coverage). However, the designated Prime Provider will retain absolute, non-divisible accountability for the contract. The Contract to be offered to the Recommended Bidder at the end of this Procurement is as follows: The contract term will be for an initial duration of three years, which is intended to run from 1 January 2027 until 31 December 2029 with a two-year contract extension up to 31 December 2031.
