Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is in the 'award' stage of a procurement process to provide Primary Care Enhanced Services within the healthcare sector, specifically targeting general-practitioner services. The services, which include phlebotomy, treatment room services, and specialised drug monitoring among others, are intended for the Lincolnshire region. This process is conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), a direct award method that eschews the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023, with a standstill period allowing representations until 15th September 2025.

The contract, valued at £73,381, is set to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with Boultham Park Medical Practice identified as the intended supplier. This tender represents a significant opportunity for service providers operating within or looking to expand into primary healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in delivering high-standard general-practitioner services. Businesses that can demonstrate value, quality, and innovation, while also showing capabilities in integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, will find this contract appealing.

With the focus on improving access and reducing health inequalities, along with fostering social value, SMEs like Boultham Park Medical Practice that already operate within the local healthcare landscape might be well-positioned to benefit and grow. The buying authority prioritises community impact and thorough continuity of high-standard service provision, offering an attractive prospect for ambitious healthcare service providers aiming to expand their regional footprint.
