Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is conducting a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime for the provision of Primary Care Enhanced Services, including specialised drug monitoring and other services in the Lincolnshire area. This process follows a direct award method without prior publication due to Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 2023. The intention to award notice marks the initiation of a standstill period, ending on 22nd September 2025, in which representations are requested.

The contract, valued at £74,027, will span from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and is classified under the general-practitioner services category. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare service provision, particularly those capable of delivering primary care enhancements and specialised monitoring services. Due to its focus on existing service providers that meet specific criteria such as quality, value, and social impact, businesses with a proven track record in healthcare service delivery and innovation would be well-positioned to compete.

These opportunities are particularly suited for SMEs, as evidenced by the involvement of Hawthorn Medical Practice, an SME recognised in this procurement process. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate sector growth and offer pathways for businesses to demonstrate and expand their service integration and innovation capabilities.
