Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is buying primary care enhanced services for patients in Lincolnshire. The package covers phlebotomy and treatment-room procedures; pessary care; warfarin, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) and gonadorelin (Zoladex) services; specialised drug monitoring and safeguarding; spirometry; and deep vein thrombosis assessment and management, including D-dimer testing. It also includes the East Bundle: 24-hour ambulatory ECG, routine 12-lead ECG and 24-hour ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring. This is a healthcare services contract, classified under GP services (CPV 85121100). The named recipient practice is based in Louth, and the delivery area is Lincolnshire. The buyer is based in Sleaford.

The process is recorded as complete, with an active award and active contract. NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board selected James Street Family Practice through direct award process C under the Provider Selection Regime, without a prior competition. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026. Its term runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an expected contract value of £159,796. The buyer described the supplier as an existing provider delivering existing services. The stated award basis was that the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; the recorded criterion assigns 100 to this consideration. The process covers one lot. The notice also set a representation deadline of 20 October 2026.

This award shows demand for a broad bundle of enhanced primary care delivered through a family practice, rather than a single diagnostic or treatment service. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this kind would need the clinical capacity to provide phlebotomy, treatment-room care, medicines monitoring, safeguarding, respiratory testing and DVT assessment, alongside ECG and ambulatory blood-pressure services. The buyer’s stated assessment emphasised continuity and satisfactory delivery against an existing contract, as well as quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, sustainability, access, health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable performance across the full service bundle and evidence that services work well within local primary care. The selected practice is an SME, showing that a smaller provider was able to deliver this requirement.
