Primary Care Enhanced Services

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has announced its intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for Primary Care Enhanced Services, including general-practitioner services such as phlebotomy and specialised drug monitoring. The contract is set within the healthcare industry category and focuses on the provision of services across the South West locality of Lincolnshire, UK. The process is at the award stage with a standstill period allowing for representations by providers until 8th September 2025.

The contract, valued at £58,297, is planned to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This procurement follows a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those already involved in healthcare services, to grow by offering enhanced services in primary care.

Those with a track record of quality service delivery and innovation such as existing providers, like Market Cross Surgery, are well-suited to compete. These businesses can leverage their expertise in general-practitioner services to meet the procurement criteria centred on quality, value, integration, and social value, potentially leading to strengthened local healthcare provision and reduced health inequalities. For SMEs looking to expand or enter into contractual agreements with public bodies, engaging in this tender process could lead to significant growth and community impact.
