Summary, notice description and lot information

Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is planning the provision of pharmacy services across Lincolnshire, with the engagement period open from 5 December 2025 until 25 January 2026. This initiative is categorised under clinical services and has a planning status, which ensures providers can engage via an open Q&A facility through the Atamis Supplier Portal. This market engagement does not currently constitute a formal tender process, but aims to illuminate future service parameters under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR).

Prospective providers should watch for further notices post-engagement, slated for 1 February 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in pharmacy services and health sector solutions. Eligible businesses with a focus on service integration, quality improvement, and continuity may find competitive advantages in participating in this planning phase.

With a projected value of up to £12 million, businesses demonstrating strong provider capability and offering high-value service trends will be well-positioned to benefit from future contract awards under the PSR criteria.

Notice Description

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust intends to engage with providers regarding the future delivery of community pharmacy services across Lincolnshire. This engagement is conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to inform decisions about service arrangements, ensure transparency, and support integration and quality improvements. This notice is not a call for competition and does not initiate a procurement under the Public Contracts Regulations or Procurement Act 2023.

Any future decision will follow PSR criteria: continuity of service, integration, quality, value, and provider capability. Transparency requirements under PSR will be met, including publication of decisions and rationale.
