Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care enhanced services for patients in Lincolnshire. The work covers phlebotomy and treatment-room services, pessary care, DOAC and gonadorelin (Zoladex) services, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, and deep-vein thrombosis assessment and management, including D-dimer testing. This is a package of clinical services delivered through primary care, rather than a supply-only contract. The named provider is Heart of Lincoln Medical Group, based in Lincoln. The buying organisation is based in Sleaford. The services are described as existing services delivered by an existing provider, so the requirement continues established provision rather than introducing a new service.

The process reached an intention-to-award stage under the Provider Selection Regime, using direct award process C; the contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Heart of Lincoln Medical Group was selected, and the contract is recorded as active, although the notice states that the award had not yet been formally completed. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026. Its period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a value of £157,476. There is one lot covering the full service package. Selection relied on the existing provider's satisfactory performance under its original contract. The decision criteria also considered quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value; the notice says the provider satisfied these criteria to a sufficient standard.

This award shows demand for a broad, established package of enhanced primary care services in Lincolnshire, spanning routine clinical procedures, medicines monitoring, safeguarding and urgent assessment and management of suspected DVT. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate the clinical workforce, facilities and operational capacity to deliver this mix reliably through primary care, including phlebotomy, treatment-room care, pessary services, anticoagulant and gonadorelin provision, specialist drug monitoring, safeguarding and D-dimer testing. The buyer's stated assessment places weight on maintaining satisfactory service standards and on value, quality and innovation, service integration and sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Evidence of dependable delivery across the full service range and contribution to joined-up, sustainable local care would therefore be relevant.
