Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Childcare Voucher Scheme" was conducted by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, situated in Lincoln, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the "Financial and insurance services" category and follows a direct procurement method through a single tender action, below the threshold. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £63,744.00. The contract period commenced on 1 May 2026 and will conclude on 30 April 2027. The award was finalised on 16 June 2026. This contract primarily targets businesses located in the UK, with expected services delivery in the LN2 5QY postal region.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and insurance services, particularly those experienced in managing childcare voucher schemes.

Companies with expertise in direct procurement and those capable of efficiently handling niche financial products may find significant growth potential in partnering with a prominent public sector body like the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
