Primary Care Enhanced Services

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has announced an intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the "Primary Care Enhanced Services". This includes services such as Phlebotomy, Treatment Room services, and specialised drug monitoring, among others. Located in Sleaford, United Kingdom, this notice initiates the standstill period required by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with representations to be made by 22nd September 2025.

The process is a direct award without prior publication, valued at £170,405, and signifies the transition from planning to the award stage. The contract, expected to cover the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, aligns with the industry category of General-Practitioner Services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those capable of delivering a range of primary care services.

As the emphasis is on quality, innovation, and integration, practices that can demonstrate satisfactory existing service delivery at competitive values will be well-suited to compete. Being an existing service, businesses familiar with such contracts may find it easier to integrate and collaborate with the Lincolnshire health community. The award intends to enhance healthcare access and reduce inequalities, thus aligning with providers focused on social value and innovation in services.

The contract is initially directed to the existing provider, James Street Family Practice, highlighting potential growth avenues for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the sector.
