Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract for "Primary Care Enhanced Services" under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, focusing on general-practitioner services. This intent notice initiates the standstill period as of 2nd September 2025, with provider representations due by 12th September 2025. The contract, valued at £64,921, covers essential services such as phlebotomy, treatment room services, specialised drug monitoring, and more.

Spanning from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, the procurement is managed through a limited method without prior competition publication, due to the PSR. The process is concluded by a final decision of the NHS Lincolnshire ICB's decision-makers, ensuring integration and innovation based on strict criteria. This procurement offers a significant growth opportunity primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises that specialise in healthcare services, particularly those in primary care or with capabilities in specialised services like DVT management and safeguarding.

Given the contract's emphasis on quality, value, and reducing health inequalities, businesses in the healthcare sector with a focus on social value and sustainability will find this tender particularly advantageous. The limited competition process leverages existing provider relationships, ensuring continuity of care and service integration, making it an ideal scenario for businesses already familiar with service delivery under the NHS framework.
