Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care enhanced services for patients in Lincolnshire. The scope covers phlebotomy, treatment-room services, direct oral anticoagulant monitoring, gonadorelin treatment such as Zoladex, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding support and services for older adults. This is a healthcare services requirement delivered through primary care. The buying organisation is NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The selected provider is Branston & Heighington Family Practice, a small or medium-sized general-practice provider based in Branston. The relevant business area is general-practitioner services, including the clinical delivery, monitoring and safeguarding capabilities needed to provide enhanced services alongside routine primary care.

The procurement is recorded as complete and uses Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, without a prior call for competition. The stated evaluation basis was whether the existing provider was satisfactorily meeting the original contract and would likely meet the proposed contract; the notice also identifies quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value as decision criteria. The intention-to-award notice was published on 3 August 2026, with representations due by 13 August 2026. The proposed contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an awarded value of £36,533. Branston & Heighington Family Practice is named as supplier. The contract is recorded as signed on 3 August 2026 and active, although the associated lot is marked cancelled.

This outcome indicates demand from NHS Lincolnshire ICB for a broad portfolio of enhanced primary care services delivered by an established general-practice provider. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate safe delivery of phlebotomy and treatment-room work, anticoagulant and specialised drug monitoring, gonadorelin treatment, safeguarding and services for older adults. Evidence of satisfactory performance on an existing or comparable healthcare contract would be particularly important, because the stated decision basis focused on the incumbent provider’s performance and likely ability to continue. Providers should also be able to evidence quality improvement and innovation, value for money, collaborative working, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and wider social value. A small or medium-sized practice can be relevant where it has the clinical capacity and governance to cover the full service range.
