Primary Care Enhanced Services

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has announced an intention to award a contract under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for Primary Care Enhanced Services. This includes a range of services such as phlebotomy and specialised drug monitoring within the general-practitioner services industry category. This procurement, facilitated via a direct award process C, pertains to the region UKF3, and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 not applicable.

The contract is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an expected contract value of £75,109. The procurement stage is ‘award,’ with representations due by 20th September 2025. The procedure employed is a limited award without prior publication owing to its specific regulatory framework.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for growth within healthcare business types, specifically those already operating within or looking to expand into the primary care service delivery space. Businesses that demonstrate strong performance in quality, innovation, value, integration, and social value would be well-positioned to compete successfully. Tasburgh Lodge Surgery, an SME and the incumbent provider, has been identified as likely to continue meeting the service standards effectively, emphasizing opportunities for established SMEs within the market.

Such contracts not only offer financial incentives but also enhance market presence and collaboration in delivering critical healthcare services to reduce health inequalities and improve access within Lincolnshire.
