Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is proceeding with an intention to award a contract for Primary Care Enhanced Services under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, specifically direct award process C. The procurement aims to provide general-practitioner services such as phlebotomy, treatment room services, and specialised drug monitoring, among others.

This procurement falls under the health industry category and services are intended to be delivered in the region of UKF3, with Gosberton Medical Centre being the current provider proposed to continue service delivery. The contract's standstill period began with this notice on 29 August 2025 and representations by providers must be made by 10 September 2025.

This process is governed by the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, with the official award yet to be formalised. This tender presents an opportunity for Gosberton Medical Centre, an SME, to further strengthen its position in delivering primary care services within Lincolnshire.

As the procurement is through a limited method without a prior competition call, it highlights a strategic move for service continuity with the existing satisfactory provider. This contract is valued at £97,251 for the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, ensuring sustained service provision and potential growth for involved healthcare providers.
