North Cumbria Waiting Well Service - Fit4Life
Buyer: NHS NORTH EAST AND NORTH CUMBRIA INTEGRATED CARE BOARD →
What is being bought
This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Regulations 2024 do not apply to this award. Do to urgent need, an implied contract has been in place since 01 April 2025 but contracts were signed off 27 June 2025. The contract is to provide the waiting well service for patients registered with General Practices that are part of the waiting well programme. The aim of the service is to support the target cohort of patients to use the time they wait for surgery to prepare mentally, emotionally, socially and physically for their procedure, with a view to helping minimise those not ready/fit for surgery, minimise recovery time post surgery and maximise surgical outcomes. Fit4Life will provider a tiered service offer to patients providing personalised care based on their individual needs/complexity. The Waiting Well programme is a sub project under of the Healthier Fairer programme. This programme was started as a proof of concept.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Community health services (85323000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 25,569 | 1 median · 25.5 average (13,726 of 25,569 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (14,940 of 25,569 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 909 | 1 median · 1.1 average (357 of 909 with a bid count) | 1 average (365 of 909 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
