Musculoskeletal and Spinal Service

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract for Musculoskeletal and Spinal Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement falls under the industry category of orthopaedic services, specifically within the services category. Located in the UKF3 region, this intention to award is in the Award stage, with a standstill period until 24 October 2025.

The procurement method was limited, utilising a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The expected contract value over its one-year term, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, is £4,175,846. This tender presents excellent growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector offering orthopaedic services.

It is particularly suitable for large-scale entities capable of delivering high-quality, integrated services that focus on health inequalities and sustainability. The selection criteria emphasise quality, innovation, and social value, making it a prime opportunity for providers who can demonstrate superior performance in these areas. Whilst the current supplier is Practice Plus Group, other well-established providers delivering similar services may find this an opportunity to strengthen their portfolio within NHS frameworks.
