## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Healthwatch Service," classified under the Health and social work services industry (CPV ID: 85000000). This significant public procurement contract, valued at £2,325,000 GBP, aims to enhance the health and care system for the population of Lincolnshire. The procurement employed an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 10 July 2024. The contract was awarded on 20 August 2024 and commenced on 1 October 2024, scheduled to end on 31 March 2030. The service is intended to provide a credible, representative, and influential public voice within the local health and care system, reflecting the objectives of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) as identified in its suitability criteria. The selected supplier, HWLincs, exemplifies the kind of organisation that can successfully compete in such procurement processes. Companies with expertise in health and social work services, and those capable of working closely with councils to deliver comprehensive public services, are particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in similar tenders can help businesses build their credentials and expand their footprint in the public sector.

## Notice

The aim of the Service is to give people in Lincolnshire a greater say in how the health and care system works. This service was a central pillar of the coalition Government's ambition and a key component of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 ("the Act"). To achieve this, Government outlined a framework for a network of local Healthwatch organisations with the aim of creating a credible, representative, and influential public voice in the system. The Provider is expected to be responsible for providing this service, liaising closely with the Council. The service will be available to the whole population of Lincolnshire.
