Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has concluded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for providing Mental Health Social Prescribing services. The procurement falls within the health services category, specifically focusing on mental health services. This contract was not subjected to the procedural provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, utilising instead a limited procurement method. The selection process did not involve prior publication of a competitive call due to no tenders being suitable or submitted in an open procedure. The contract, awarded to CVS Lincolnshire, is valued at £985,812 and spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, covering the UKF3 region.

This procurement represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those focusing on mental health interventions. With the confirmation of award under a direct selection regime, businesses already established in similar service provisions are particularly well-suited to participate in such opportunities. SMEs, like CVS Lincolnshire, demonstrate viable competition for such contracts, indicating favourable conditions for growth in this sector. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality mental health services might find further prospects for expansion as similar contracts become available through the NHS framework.
