## Summary

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board procured a Cardiology GPwSI Service for patients registered with practices in Blackburn with Darwen. The service falls within health services and involves providing specialist cardiology assessment and care through a GP with Special Interest model. Delivery is focused on patients registered with Blackburn with Darwen practices, within the Lancashire and South Cumbria health system. The requirement is for a healthcare provider able to deliver cardiology services in a primary care-linked setting and meet the needs of the relevant patient population. The selected supplier is Cardiohealth Medical Services Ltd, a Chorley-based SME. The buying organisation is the Integrated Care Board, which commissioned and assessed the service against its existing specification.

The procurement has reached the award stage. NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board selected Cardiohealth Medical Services Ltd through Provider Selection Regime direct award route C, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award decision was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £77,000. The service period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Evaluation placed 100% importance on quality and 0% on price: the key consideration was whether the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and would likely deliver the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The process also considered value, integration, collaboration, sustainability, access, health inequalities, choice and social value.

This procurement indicates demand from the Integrated Care Board for an established, primary care-linked cardiology service serving Blackburn with Darwen patients. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable cardiology GPwSI capability, suitable clinical capacity and the ability to deliver consistently against a defined service specification. Continuity and proven performance matter particularly: the stated route relied on the existing provider meeting the original contract and being likely to satisfy the proposed one without significant service change. Credibility would therefore depend on evidence of safe, reliable cardiology delivery, integration with local practices and wider NHS services, and effective access for patients. Providers should also be able to demonstrate value, collaboration, service sustainability, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value, alongside the basic selection requirements.
