Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council has awarded a contract for the Healthwatch Service, a statutory requirement under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. This service is aimed at enabling the citizens of Lincolnshire to have a greater say in the functioning of the health and care system, ensuring their views are heard and represented. The contract, valued at £2,325,000, was awarded to HWLincs and is set to run from 1st October 2024 for an initial 5.5-year period, with options for extension up to 31st March 2031. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime and aims to cover the entire population of Lincolnshire. The key dates include the tender end date on 10th July 2024 and the contract commencement date on 1st October 2024.
