Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care enhanced services in Lincolnshire. The package covers phlebotomy, treatment-room services, pessaries, warfarin and DOAC monitoring, gonadorelin treatment (Zoladex), specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, minor injuries, and deep-vein thrombosis assessment and management, including D-dimer testing. These are GP services delivered in the Lincolnshire area. The procurement is for existing services currently provided by an existing provider, rather than a new service set-up. The work spans clinical procedures, medicines monitoring, urgent and minor injury care, and patient safeguarding within primary care.

The contract is recorded as awarded to Hereward Medical Centre, a Bourne-based provider, and the contract is active. NHS Lincolnshire ICB used the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C, without a call for competition. The recorded contract value is £135,392. The service period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, and the award decision date is 1 October 2026. The stated assessment basis was whether the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; the listed criteria were quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration and service sustainability, access and health inequalities and choice, and social value. The notice text describes an intention to award and says representations were due by 13 October 2026, although the award and active contract are also recorded.

This outcome shows demand for a broad bundle of enhanced GP services delivered through established primary care provision, including phlebotomy, treatment-room work, medicines monitoring, minor injuries and DVT assessment. A credible supplier for comparable work would need clinical capacity across these services and the ability to sustain safe, integrated delivery for patients through primary care. Evidence of reliable performance against an existing service contract is particularly relevant: the selection rationale expressly relied on the incumbent’s performance and its expected ability to maintain standards. Suppliers should also be prepared to demonstrate quality and innovation, value, collaboration and service sustainability, improved access and patient choice, action to reduce health inequalities, and social value. The award to a medical centre demonstrates that an established local primary care provider can deliver this type of service package.
