Primary Care Enhanced Services

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has issued an intention to award notice for a contract involving Primary Care Enhanced Services, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This involves a limited procurement process without prior publication, covering services like phlebotomy and specialised drug monitoring. The contract, valued at £41,766, is planned to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 in the UKF3 region.

This notice marks the start of a standstill period, with representations from providers due by 19th September 2025. The potential supplier, Willingham by Stow Surgery, is already involved as an existing provider, fulfilling services under similar arrangements. Businesses specialising in healthcare service provisions, particularly those that offer general-practitioner services, can find opportunities for growth through this tender.

As the procurement process is managed without prior open competition, existing service providers with a track record in quality and efficient healthcare service delivery are particularly well-suited to participate. This offers a stable opportunity given the specific focus on enhancing primary care services, allowing for expansion and collaboration in the health sector in Lincolnshire. Additionally, SMEs like Willingham by Stow Surgery that can consistently deliver high standards in healthcare could gain a competitive edge by aligning with the outlined contract needs.
