This involves various healthcare services such as Phlebotomy, Safeguarding, and DVT Assessment & Management. The contract is slated to begin on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026.

It is expected to be valued at £164,536. The intention to award notice was published on 10th September 2025, marking the start of the standstill period, ending 22nd September 2025. The procurement, classified under General-practitioner services, is being conducted using a limited procedure, without a prior publication of a call for competition, in line with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The location for the provision of services is identified as UKF3, encompassing the region around Lincolnshire. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the healthcare industry. Given the specific requirements for Primary Care Enhanced Services, businesses that have expertise in general-practitioner services and related healthcare provisions are particularly well-suited.

The direct award nature of this procurement process provides a streamlined path for existing providers, but it still opens the door for potential collaborations and partnerships that can bolster service delivery and reach. Firms that can demonstrate high quality, innovation, efficient integration, and maintain social value in healthcare provision are recommended to engage with this process to expand their service offerings within the public sector.
