About the buyer

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is the NHS integrated care board that commissions health services across Lancashire and South Cumbria. New provider contracts are assessed under the Provider Selection Regime, in effect nationally since 2023. Applicants submit gateway proformas and a quality assessment before governance review. The commissioning resource group ratifies new provider contracts before mobilisation. Finance and procurement runs through ISFE2, the national NHS finance and procurement system supported by NHS Shared Business Services. A dedicated procurement inbox handles enquiries from prospective providers.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board's contract awards have been in health and social work and software and information systems.
