As part of this initiative, which is currently in the planning stage, suitably qualified providers are invited to join the Expert Reference Group to contribute to the service review process. This procurement is categorised within services, and a future notice is anticipated on 1st April 2026. The process is taking place in the UKF3 region, with the main activities involving workshops and stakeholder engagement under the governance of NHS Lincolnshire ICB, whose contact person is Tom Greenwood. This procurement process offers a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare consultation services to engage with a strategic health service redesign initiative. Companies with expertise in pain management, clinical excellence, and health service evaluation are likely to be well-suited for participation, potentially leading to further collaboration opportunities with NHS Lincolnshire ICB. The focus on extending the scope to include various stakeholder feedback suggests that businesses capable of providing comprehensive analysis and data-driven recommendations will have a competitive edge in this project. ## Notice NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board are undertaking a review of the Pain Management Service in Lincolnshire and are inviting suitably qualified providers to be part of the Expert Reference Group for this review. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board are undertaking a review of the Pain Management Service in Lincolnshire and are inviting suitably qualified providers to be part of the Expert Reference Group for this review. As part of the Clinical and Care Directorate, the Lincolnshire Academy of Clinical Excellence (LACE) carries out detailed reviews, in collaboration with senior responsible officers (SROs) and experts (including experts by experience). It adheres to the Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles). Following agreement at the Strategic Board in April 2025, LACE was commissioned to develop an initial Clinical Reference Group to gather feedback for a review of the Pain Management Service. Following these workshops, we have extended the project timeline to ensure that we have captured additional feedback from wider patient engagement to support further recommendations and redesign of the service. This will also provide an opportunity to include further feedback from additional stakeholders to inform the review of the care pathway for the Pain Management Service in Lincolnshire. The scope of the review has been extended and an updated stakeholder analysis, has identified additional participants who could contribute significantly to this piece of work, in addition to identifying the wider stakeholder groups. The extended review will build upon the initial evidence and entail further facilitated analysis of data, supplemented by local intelligence from clinical and operational experts working in the field, and experts by (people with lived) experience, for the purpose of identifying and understanding those areas of care that would benefit significantly from improvements. Subsequently, the review will identify solutions which will form the basis of a high-level strategy which, once approved, will be shared with the relevant and responsible health and social care providers, for delivery of its strategic objectives. The Commissioner has already collated evidence in the initial phase of the process however, and plan to include further engagement with a series of meetings, facilitated activities and workshops, extending the use of quality improvement tools and techniques, data analysis and best practice/evidence synthesis. Some additional time may be required to review information, in preparation for the face-to-face workshops. If you would like to be part of the Expert Reference Group for this review please email: licb.laceteam@nhs.net Please note this is a market engagement exercise and does not commit the ICB to carry out a procurement process. Current services will remain in place during this period in line with existing contracts and service level agreements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042443-2025 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS LINCOLNSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD | | Locality | SLEAFORD | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG34 8GG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF3 Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLF30 Lincolnshire CC | | Local authority | North Kesteven | | Electoral ward | Sleaford Holdingham | | Westminster constituency | Sleaford and North Hykeham | | Delivery location | TLF3 Lincolnshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 23 Jul 2025 at 14:09 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042443-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.lincolnshire.icb.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
