Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care enhanced services across Lincolnshire. The service package covers phlebotomy, treatment rooms, leg-ulcer care, pessary fitting, warfarin and DOAC monitoring, gonadorelin (Zoladex) treatment, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, deep-vein thrombosis assessment and management including D-dimer testing, and ambulatory ECG in south-west Lincolnshire. This is a healthcare services requirement delivered through general-practitioner services. The named provider is Caythorpe and Ancaster Medical Practices, an SME based in Grantham. The buyer is NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The requirement concerns existing services and an existing provider rather than a new service model.

The process used direct award process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The award record names Caythorpe and Ancaster Medical Practices as supplier, with an active contract signed on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and is valued at £152,319. The intention-to-award notice states that representations had to reach the decision-makers by 18 August 2026, during the standstill period. Evaluation was based entirely on whether the existing provider was performing the original contract sufficiently. The stated criteria covered quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value. The single lot is marked cancelled in the procurement record.

This procurement indicates continuing NHS demand in Lincolnshire for a broad package of enhanced general-practice clinical services, delivered through established primary-care infrastructure. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would need to provide several services rather than a single specialist intervention, including phlebotomy, treatment-room procedures, wound and leg-ulcer care, anticoagulation monitoring, safeguarding, DVT assessment, diagnostic testing and ambulatory ECG. Credibility would depend on evidence of safe delivery of existing healthcare contracts, sufficient clinical staffing and governance, reliable monitoring arrangements, and the ability to support access and reduce health inequalities. Providers should also be able to demonstrate collaboration with the local health system, service sustainability, patient choice, innovation and measurable social value.
