Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board procured specialist neighbourhood nursing services, classified as medical practice and related services. The requirement concerns the provision of these services in Lincolnshire. The procurement describes the services as existing services delivered by an existing provider, so this is continuation of an established service rather than a new service specification. The buyer is the Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The selected provider, Allied Health South Lincolnshire Ltd, is based in Spalding. The stated scope is specialist neighbourhood nursing; the procurement does not break this down into particular nursing activities, patient groups or service locations. Suppliers working in specialist nursing and community-based healthcare are the most directly relevant.

The procurement used the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C, without a prior call for competition. NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board selected Allied Health South Lincolnshire Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active and signed on 22 October 2026. Its value is £488,899. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The authority’s intention-to-award notice said the award was subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and that representations could be made by 4 November 2026. The stated evaluation basis was that the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The notice lists quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, service sustainability, access, health inequalities, choice and social value among the decision criteria.

This outcome shows that the buyer has procured specialist neighbourhood nursing as an established service, using a Provider Selection Regime direct award based on the incumbent’s satisfactory performance. For a future competition for this same requirement, a credible supplier would need to demonstrate that it can deliver specialist nursing services consistently and maintain service quality, value, integration, collaboration and sustainability. Evidence of improving access, reducing health inequalities, facilitating choice and providing social value would also be relevant, since these were stated considerations in the authority’s decision. The selected provider is an SME, showing that an organisation of this scale was selected for the requirement; the published information does not establish a minimum supplier size or capacity threshold.
