Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for the provision of "Primary Care Enhanced Services". This service includes activities such as phlebotomy, specialised drug monitoring, and DVT assessment and management. The location for this procurement is the UKF3 region, encompassing services in places such as Lincolnshire West.

The procurement process has reached the award stage, marking the start of the standstill period, with representations from providers due by 19th September 2025. The contract, valued at £71,969, is to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, following a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition. This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses interested in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in primary care enhancements.

Companies with a strong track record of quality, innovation, and value, along with the ability to integrate and collaborate effectively, could find lucrative growth potential here. Specifically, SMEs like the awarded Welton Family Health Centre, which is already an existing provider, are well-suited to compete for this type of contract, given their expertise in general-practitioner services and meeting criteria such as improving access and reducing health inequalities.
