Summary of the contracting process

In a Provider Selection Regime intention to award notice, the NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (LICB) aims to award a contract for Musculoskeletal and Spinal Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Located in Sleaford, United Kingdom, the procurement process falls under the orthopaedic services industry category and involves a direct award method without prior competition, aligning with the limited procurement strategy. The procurement stage is marked as award, with the standstill period allowing representations from providers until 15th April 2026. This contract has an active duration set from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a contract value of £4,100,000.

This tender represents significant opportunities for providers specialising in healthcare services, especially those with a focus on orthopaedic and spinal care. Businesses with the capability to deliver high-quality, innovative, and cost-effective healthcare solutions, while promoting integration and collaboration, would be well-suited to vie for this contract. Given the emphasis on improving access and reducing health inequalities, suppliers that can demonstrate social value alongside operational excellence stand to benefit. The current supplier, Practice Plus Group, is a large-scale organisation positioned to integrate seamlessly, suggesting that larger firms with existing infrastructural capacity may fare well in this competitive landscape.
