Lymphoedema Services - Cancer and Non-cancer

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Lymphoedema Services for both cancer and non-cancer cases. The contract, which falls under the health services industry category, is aimed at servicing Morecambe Bay, Lancaster, and South Cumbria. The procurement process was conducted under urgent circumstances without prior publication of a call for competition, necessitated by the urgency to replace a previous provider who had served notice.

The contract award was approved on 11 June 2024, with the service set to commence on 1 October 2024 and run until 30 September 2026. The total value of the contract is £811,483. This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of health services and related fields.

Given the urgent need to stabilise Lymphoedema Services in Morecambe Bay, Lancaster, and South Cumbria, it is particularly suited for businesses that can offer immediate solutions to healthcare service gaps. The primary care collaborative community interest company, Morecambe Bay Primary Care Collaborative, awarded the contract, indicates a preference for organisations experienced in collaborative and community-focused healthcare delivery. Achieving this contract can bolster a business's reputation and portfolio within the healthcare sector, opening doors to further opportunities in public health service provisions.
