Specialist Neighbourhood Nurses Services

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for Specialist Neighbourhood Nurses Services under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, bypassing prior publication for competition. This falls under the medical practice and related services category, designated by CPV code 85120000, and is valued at £187,476 for the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process employs a direct award method, as outlined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The contract award, yet to be formalised, is currently in the standstill period, with representations due by 26th September 2025. The region for service delivery is specified as UKF3, with the procurement stage marked as 'award'. This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical practice services, particularly those with a proven track record in quality, innovation, and social value contributions.

Given that the provider is an existing entity, businesses demonstrating strong integration, collaboration, and the capability to enhance access and reduce health inequalities will be prime contenders. SMEs, particularly those akin to Munro Medical Centre, which is the existing provider, would find this opportunity highly suitable. Such enterprises stand to benefit by leveraging their existing service frameworks while aligning with the strategic directives of NHS Lincolnshire ICB for long-term service sustainability and advancement.
