Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board procured primary care enhanced services for patients in Lincolnshire. The scope covers phlebotomy, Warfarin and direct oral anticoagulant monitoring, Gonadorelins such as Zoladex, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, deep-vein thrombosis assessment and management including D-dimer testing, and services for older adults. This is a healthcare services requirement delivered through primary care. The relevant service category is general-practitioner services. The buyer is based in Sleaford, while the named provider, Cleveland Surgery, is based in Gainsborough. The requirement is suited to GP practices or other primary care providers able to deliver clinically governed enhanced services across these areas and manage the specified monitoring, assessment and safeguarding activities.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Cleveland Surgery was selected for the requirement, with the contract recorded as active and signed on 7 August 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an expected value of £100,022. NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board used Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, without a prior call for competition, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The decision was based on the existing provider satisfying the original and proposed contract to a sufficient standard, with cost represented as the sole weighted criterion. The published intention to award began a standstill period; provider representations were due to decision-makers by 19 August 2026.

This award shows continuing demand from NHS Lincolnshire for a broad package of enhanced primary care services rather than a single clinical activity. A credible future competitor would need a functioning GP or primary care service with capacity across phlebotomy, anticoagulation and specialist drug monitoring, including Warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants and Gonadorelins. It would also need robust arrangements for safeguarding, deep-vein thrombosis assessment and D-dimer testing, and care for older adults. Evidence of delivering existing contracts to a sufficient standard would be particularly important, since the decision relied on provider performance. Strong clinical governance, safe monitoring processes, integration with local services, collaboration and sustainable delivery would support competitiveness, alongside demonstrable access, choice, health-inequality and social-value benefits.
