Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has initiated a procurement process for a Lung Cancer Screening Programme, with the intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The programme aims to diagnose lung cancer earlier by screening those at increased risk, using a combination of lung health checks and low dose CT scans. This service, classified under the health services category, is expected to run from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2030, with a total contract value of £12,215,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, currently in the award stage, following a competitive process. Interested providers were to submit written representations by 19th November 2025. The service will primarily operate in the UKF3 region, with InHealth Ltd named as the intended primary contractor.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those adept at delivering innovative and quality medical solutions. The focus on Quality and Innovation, representing 64% of the evaluation criteria, highlights the necessity for providers who can integrate cutting-edge screening techniques and collaborate effectively within healthcare networks. SMEs may find subcontracting opportunities, as a portion of the service involves collaboration for the provision of AI solutions and radiology reporting. Given the substantial contract value and the strategic significance of the programme in reducing health inequalities, it holds potential for long-term business growth and development, especially for businesses seeking to establish or extend their footprint in healthcare diagnostics.
