Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is conducting a procurement process titled "Primary Care Enhanced Services," specifically focusing on general practitioner services. The procurement falls under the service category and is located in the UKF3 region. This process is at the award stage, marked as complete as of 28th August 2025.

The tender has been managed through a limited procurement method, using a direct award procedure without a prior publication of a call for competition. Potential providers had until the 9th of September 2025 to make representations. The contracting process has been handled following the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, meaning broader public procurement regulations do not apply here.

The contract, valued at £65,129, is set to span from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for existing service providers, especially those with capabilities in offering enhanced primary care services like phlebotomy, leg ulcer treatment, and specialised drug monitoring. Businesses with a track record of high-quality service provision and innovation, such as those already functioning effectively within NHS frameworks, would be well-positioned to compete.

Since the firm awarded the contract, The Welby Practice, is identified as an SME, other similar-sized enterprises could find inspiration in their successful bid. By fostering partnerships and focusing on integration and social value, businesses can align themselves with requirements that emphasize service quality and innovation.
