Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has announced an intention to award a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services, including specialised services such as Phlebotomy, Treatment Room, and Leg Ulcer care. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and represents a significant contract within the healthcare industry sector located in the East Midlands. The contract spans services from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with an estimated value of £95,261.

The process has reached the award stage, with the public announcement commencing the standstill period, allowing representations by September 20, 2025. The procurement method was a limited tender, using a direct award process without a prior call for competition. This tender provides growth opportunities for SMEs, particularly those experienced in delivering healthcare services under similar regulatory frameworks.

Businesses adept in quality service provision, demonstrating innovation, and prioritising integration and social value will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities. Given the criteria focusing on improving access and reducing health inequalities, organisations with a track record of sustainable service delivery and a focus on community health improvement will be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The contract highlights a preference towards maintaining continuity with existing providers who meet or exceed service standards, as demonstrated by the potential award to The New Coningsby Surgery.
