Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care enhanced services delivered through general-practitioner services. The scope includes phlebotomy, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) monitoring, gonadorelin treatment using Zoladex, specialised drug monitoring and safeguarding services. The work is for patients and primary care services in Lincolnshire. The contracting authority is NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The selected provider, Beacon Medical Practice, is based in Skegness and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This requirement suits GP practices and primary care providers able to deliver enhanced clinical services, manage medication and treatment monitoring, and provide safeguarding support within NHS primary care arrangements.

The process has reached the award and contract stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. NHS Lincolnshire ICB used direct award process C, without a prior call for competition, for an existing provider delivering existing services. Beacon Medical Practice was selected for the single lot, with an award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and is valued at £165,129. It runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Evaluation used a single criterion: whether the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, with the criterion recorded as 100% cost. The decision considered quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value.

This award indicates established demand from NHS Lincolnshire ICB for a bundled primary care service covering phlebotomy, anticoagulant-related care, gonadorelin treatment, specialised drug monitoring and safeguarding. A credible competitor for future procurement would need to operate as, or work closely with, a GP or primary care provider and demonstrate safe delivery of these services across Lincolnshire. Evidence of satisfactory performance against existing NHS contracts would be particularly important, because the decision relied on the incumbent's performance and expected ability to meet the proposed requirement. Relevant strengths include clinical governance, medication monitoring, safeguarding capability, service integration, collaboration with health partners, sustainable delivery, improved patient access and reduced health inequalities. Smaller primary care organisations may be capable of competing at this scale.
