Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), located in Sleaford, has announced their intention to award a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services under the Provider Selection Regime. The contract, valued at £129,513, covers general-practitioner services, including phlebotomy, safeguarding, DVT assessment, and more, within the UKF30 region. This process falls under a limited procurement method without prior publication, as stipulated under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The standstill period has commenced, and any representation by providers must be submitted by 12th September 2025. The actual contract is scheduled to be in effect from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This tender signifies a significant business growth opportunity within the health services sector for providers capable of delivering innovative and high-quality primary care services.

Organisations that have previously engaged in general-practitioner services, particularly those with a focus on integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, will find this tender appealing. The process favours existing service providers, namely those like Nettleham Medical Practice, which is indicated as a current supplier involved in this award. This presents a competitive advantage for SMEs already established in the healthcare service industry who can demonstrate excellent service delivery and social value contributions.
