Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a payroll service to support payments to locum doctors. The requirement is for a payroll system and associated service, rather than clinical staffing: it supports the Trust’s administration and payment of doctors working on a locum basis. The recorded service category is financial and insurance services. The Trust is based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, and the procurement is for the Trust’s locum-doctor payroll requirement. Integra Back Office Solutions Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition; the requirement was arranged as one lot. Integra Back Office Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract. It was signed on 28 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. No separate award date is recorded. The stated requirement is a payroll system supporting locum-doctor payments; the award information does not set out a scored evaluation basis or selection criteria.

This award shows demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a specialist payroll service supporting locum doctors, with a modest, single-lot contract delivered by an SME. Suppliers considering similar work for this Trust would need to demonstrate that their payroll platform can handle payments to locum medical staff and provide reliable, accurate payroll administration. Credibility would depend on relevant experience serving healthcare organisations or managing comparable variable-workforce payrolls, along with the operational capacity to process payments dependably and support the Trust’s requirements. The direct, non-competitive route used for this purchase indicates that the Trust selected a provider without a competitive procedure for this contract; it does not establish how a future requirement would be procured.
