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, specifically general-practitioner services. The buying organisation is NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford, and the selected provider is Cliff House Medical Practice, a small or medium-sized provider based in Lincoln. The requirement concerns the continuation of existing primary care services rather than a new construction, goods supply or general consultancy contract. Delivery is associated with the provider’s Lincoln location and the wider Lincolnshire health system.

The procurement is recorded as complete and uses direct award process C under the Provider Selection Regime, without a prior call for competition. The decision was based on the existing provider satisfying the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, with the published assessment covering quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value. Cliff House Medical Practice was selected for the relevant service requirement. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and has a value of £46,173. Its contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The notice also records a standstill period, with representations due by 22 September 2026. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The lot is marked cancelled despite the active award and contract records.

This opportunity shows that NHS Lincolnshire buys bundled enhanced primary care services from established general-practice providers rather than commissioning each service separately. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the full range of clinical activity: phlebotomy, treatment-room work, direct oral anticoagulant and specialised drug monitoring, gonadorelin treatment, safeguarding and support for older adults. The evaluation evidence indicates that continuity and satisfactory performance under an existing contract were central to the decision, so providers would need a strong record of safe, reliable primary care delivery and the capacity to maintain several service lines at once. Relevant capability includes appropriately qualified clinical staff, robust medicines and monitoring processes, safeguarding expertise, partnership working across the local health system, and practical arrangements for improving access and reducing health inequalities. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that this scale can suit an established smaller practice.
