## Summary

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned CYP and adult community services for South Cumbria. The requirement covers the provision of community-based healthcare services for children, young people and adults. Delivery is within South Cumbria, serving the local community rather than a single named facility. The commissioning body is an NHS integrated care board, and the service provider selected was North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust based in Carlisle. This is a healthcare services requirement, covering ongoing community provision for both younger and adult patient groups. It is relevant to NHS trusts, healthcare providers and organisations with established community-service delivery capability in Cumbria or comparable local health systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using direct award process A without prior publication of a competition. The award decision was endorsed by the ICB Commissioning Resource Group on 6 February 2026 and finally made by the ICB Executive Team on 17 February 2026; the contract was signed on 17 February 2026. North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust received the award for £4,529,696 excluding any separately stated tax, covering 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated evaluation basis gave 100% weighting to quality, specifically that there was no realistic alternative provider, and 0% to price. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award indicates demand for a substantial, integrated community-healthcare service covering both children and adults in South Cumbria. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to provide community services across the area, maintain continuity for patients and commissioners, and manage a broad age range within one service arrangement. The decision basis is particularly important: the buyer treated the existing provider as having no realistic alternative, so evidence of local reach, established clinical infrastructure, workforce availability and dependable patient pathways would be central to challenging that position. NHS trusts and established independent or voluntary-sector healthcare providers with comparable community-service experience would be better placed than organisations offering only narrow or facility-based services.
