The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is executing an award process for the provision of Primary Care Enhanced Services, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This process follows the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The relevant services include phlebotomy, pessaries, warfarin management, and more, within the Lincolnshire East area, UKF3 region.

The contract intends to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 with a total financial evaluation of £233,342. The procurement is in the award stage with representations by potential providers required by 22nd September 2025. The procurement method utilised is limited and without a prior call for competition, focusing on maintaining service quality, value, integration, and social impact.

This tender offers significant opportunities for SMEs in the healthcare sector, particularly those experienced in providing general practitioner services. Marisco Medical Practice, a local SME, stands to benefit as the existing provider satisfying the contract terms. The predetermined focus on integration, collaboration, and service sustainability can favour smaller businesses that excel in delivering innovative and socially valuable healthcare solutions.

Companies that can meet the detailed criteria such as quality, value, and contribution to reducing health inequalities will find this opportunity conducive to business growth and market presence within the region.
