## Summary

The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is proceeding with a Provider Selection Regime intention to award notice for the Primary Care Social Prescribing contract, with the projected value being £407,494. This procurement falls within the health services category and employs a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition, following the Provider Selection Regime regulations 2023. Located in Lincolnshire (region UKF3), only one supplier has been engaged for this service, namely CVS Lincolnshire. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the standstill period commencing on 29th April 2026, and representations by providers to be made by 12th May 2026. The contract duration extends from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. It's worth noting that although the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 are not applicable, the procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This contract offers potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in social prescribing and health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas, particularly those familiar with regional health issues, are well-positioned to explore similar future opportunities. The existing provider, CVS Lincolnshire, has satisfied contract criteria focusing on quality, innovation, value, and collaboration, highlighting a model that other potential vendors could emulate for succeeding in similar procurement processes. Being actively involved in the Lincolnshire community will offer advantages when considering engagement with the NHS Integrated Care Board and may facilitate networking and collaborative growth aimed at reducing health inequalities and improving patient access.
