Primary Care Enhanced Services

The procurement process involves NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, which is planning to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations without prior publication. The contract intended to be awarded covers Primary Care Enhanced Services such as Phlebotomy, Treatment Room, and older adult services, among others. Located in the UKF3 region, this procurement falls under the services category, specifically general-practitioner services.

Currently in the award stage, this announcement acts as an intention to award, with the contract expected to commence from 1st April 2025 through to 31st March 2026. The notice marks the beginning of the standstill period, and representations must be submitted by 12th September 2025. This contract represents a robust opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector, particularly those already providing general-practitioner services.

The procurement process, which follows a limited method under the PSR, is ideal for businesses adept in delivering primary care services with a focus on quality, innovation, integration, and social value. Given the contract’s focus on enhancing primary care services, healthcare providers with a track record of collaboration and service sustainability would be especially well-suited to this opportunity, offering potential for business growth by engaging in efforts to improve access and reduce health inequalities across Lincolnshire. The existing provider, The Wragby Surgery, an SME in the region, has been recognised under this award process, indicating a competitive market for established providers.
