Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is buying primary care enhanced services for patients in Lincolnshire. The package covers phlebotomy, treatment-room services, leg-ulcer care, DOAC and Gonadorelin (Zoladex) services, specialist drug monitoring, safeguarding, spirometry and minor injuries. It also includes an East Bundle of 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring, routine 12-lead ECGs and 24-hour ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring. This is general-practitioner service provision, delivered in the East Lincolnshire area. The stated services are existing services provided by an existing provider; the procurement concerns their continuation through the specified package.

The process is recorded as complete, with an active contract and Horncastle Medical Group named as the selected supplier. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026. It covers one package for 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a contract value of £127,069. The buyer used the Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, without a prior call for competition; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The selection basis was that the existing provider is satisfying the original contract and is expected to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The decision considered quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value. Representations were due by 14 October 2026.

This award shows that NHS Lincolnshire ICB procures a bundled range of enhanced general-practice services, including clinical procedures, monitoring and diagnostic services, safeguarding and minor-injury care. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the clinical workforce, facilities and operational capability to deliver this breadth of services as an integrated package, including ECG, blood-pressure and spirometry provision. The buyer’s stated assessment focused on whether the incumbent was delivering satisfactorily across quality and innovation, value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability, access, health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate consistent delivery across those areas, as well as the ability to sustain established services in primary care. The package’s breadth favours providers with a range of relevant clinical capabilities rather than a supplier focused on a single procedure.
