Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is procuring Specialist Neighbourhood Nurses Services, a healthcare service delivered in Lincolnshire. The work is the provision of specialist nursing services in neighbourhood settings. The contracting description identifies these as existing services, supplied by an existing provider, rather than a new service introduction. The buyer is the Integrated Care Board, based in Sleaford. The service is associated with the Bourne area through the selected provider, Hereward Group Practice, whose address is in Bourne. The published information does not describe the clinical activities, patient groups or specific service locations in further detail.

The process is recorded as complete, with Hereward Group Practice selected for the service. The contracting information says the award was intended under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 using direct award process C, without prior publication of a competition. The notice description says the award was not yet formally made when published and that the standstill period began; representations were due by 4 November 2026. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026. Its stated period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a contract value of £75,215. The decision relied on the existing provider satisfying the original contract and likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The notice also lists quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value as criteria.

This opportunity indicates demand from NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board for specialist neighbourhood nursing delivered as an established healthcare service. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate that it can sustain the existing service standard, alongside quality and innovation, value for money, integration and collaboration, and service sustainability. The stated decision criteria also place weight on improving access, reducing health inequalities, facilitating patient choice and delivering social value. The selected supplier was an existing provider, so relevant experience delivering the service and evidence of reliable performance against an existing contract appear commercially important. The contract was awarded through the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C, rather than a competition; the outcome therefore reflects the buyer’s assessment of continuity and performance under that route.
