West Lancashire community services procurement

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) is set to procure community health services in West Lancashire due to the current contract with HCRG Care Group ceasing at the end of March 2026. 

The ICB formally agreed to a procurement exercise in June 2024 following patient and provider engagement. Following the decision, a review of all the services was carried out, as well as further public engagement on a range of topics that relate to the provision of services in West Lancashire.  

The ICB would like to engage with a range of providers that bring experience, quality and innovation to the delivery of healthcare services in West Lancashire in line with the vision and aims of the ICB’s transforming community care programme.  

Providers will be invited to bid for the new community services contract, which includes all adult community services, along with the all age podiatry service, as part of a competitive tender process from 7 March 2025. The new contract will go live from April 2026.
