Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is progressing with an intention to award a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services, focusing on general-practitioner services within the health industry category. This process follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with legal regulations applicable to Health Care Services in the UK, specifically in the UKF3 region, including services like phlebotomy, minor injuries, and safeguarding. The contract, related to award notices dated 10th September 2025, is in the award stage but yet to be formally finalised, with a standstill period allowing for representations up to the 20th September 2025.

The procurement method applied is limited and directly for a value of £78,869 from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, without prior competition call publication. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, specifically those proficient in delivering primary care services such as phlebotomy and drug monitoring. Businesses with a focus on quality, innovation, and social value, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to benefit from this contract.

Stickney Surgery, an existing provider, has been identified as the likely supplier based on its ability to meet the contract's criteria at a sufficient standard. This process allows existing providers to continue expanding their service offerings and contributes to improving healthcare access and integration in the East locality of Lincolnshire.
