Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has announced its intention to award a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically focusing on General-practitioner services. This procurement process, which began its standstill period on 3rd September 2025, involves the planned provision of services such as phlebotomy, treatment room facilities, pessaries, and specialised drug monitoring, among others. This plan, which excludes the application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023, emphasises quality, value, and service sustainability as its key criteria.

Potential representatives must communicate their interest or objections by 12th September 2025. The services are to be delivered in the UKF30 region, with the contract positioned to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, carrying an anticipated value of £68,499. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality, innovative solutions in general-practitioner and primary care environments.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Woodhall Spa New Surgery are well-suited for this opportunity, given their existing service records and capacity for integration, collaboration, and maintaining social value. The procurement method being a direct award highlights a limited competition scenario, ideal for providers with proven track records within the healthcare sector. This approach provides an excellent platform for successful bidders to extend their service scope while aligning with regional health priorities and improving access to essential healthcare services.

Business growth can be achieved through the enhancement of service quality and the expansion of service offerings, contributing towards reducing health inequalities and facilitating patient choice.
