Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board procured primary care enhanced services, classified as general-practitioner services. The scope covers phlebotomy, treatment rooms, leg-ulcer care, pessary fitting, Warfarin and DOAC monitoring, Gonadorelin (Zoladex) administration, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, deep-vein thrombosis assessment and management including D-dimer testing, and services for older adults. The work supports the delivery of these enhanced clinical services through primary care. The named buyer is NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The selected provider, Birchwood Medical Practice, is based in Lincoln and is recorded as an SME. The requirement concerns existing services delivered by an existing provider, rather than a new service model or a construction, supply or consultancy contract.

The procurement used Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting process is recorded as complete, with Birchwood Medical Practice selected for the single service lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and has a value of £150,801. Its stated term runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The decision was based on the existing provider satisfying the original contract and being likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; the published criterion assigned 100% to this basis. The wider decision criteria covered quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value. A standstill period began with the intention-to-award notice, with representations due by 12 August 2026.

This opportunity indicates recurring NHS demand for a broad package of enhanced primary care delivered through general-practice services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide safe, established capability across phlebotomy, treatment-room procedures, leg-ulcer and pessary care, anticoagulation monitoring, specialist drug monitoring, safeguarding, DVT assessment with D-dimer testing, and care for older adults. Evidence of delivering comparable services to the required standard would be central, since the decision favoured continuity with an existing provider. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate quality improvement and innovation, value for money, collaboration with wider health services, sustainable delivery, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. The breadth of the package suits an established primary-care provider or a suitably coordinated clinical partnership.
