Primary Care Enhanced Services

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This contract pertains to the delivery of various health services including Phlebotomy, Treatment Room services, and specialised drug monitoring, targeting the UKF30 region. The award of the contract is in the stage of finalisation, with representations to be made by 1st September 2025.

The procurement method followed is a direct award without prior publication due to the lack of suitable tenders from an open procedure. This decision forms part of the standstill period and the anticipated contract is set to commence from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total contract value of £35,708. The awarding decision involves the Director of Primary Care, Communities, and Social Value, with no conflicts of interest reported.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for existing health service providers, particularly those familiar with the NHS frameworks. Businesses specialising in integrated healthcare services, and capable of meeting quality and social value criteria, are ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts. Engaging in these contracts can facilitate business growth by expanding service offerings and market presence within the healthcare sector.

Given the requirement for direct service delivery and continuous improvement in healthcare access, SMEs like Binbrook Surgery could find ample scope to leverage their expertise to fulfil the contract requirements effectively.
