AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board published a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention-to-award notice for Primary Care Enhanced Services, naming James Street Family Practice. The notice says formal award had not yet occurred and began a standstill period, but embedded contract data also records an active contract with a signed-date field. The source therefore does not support a definitive conclusion that a contract was concluded.
Published outcomeJames Street Family Practice is the named provider for award 095277-2026-1, covering lot 1. The reported contract record value is £159,796, but the lifecycle is contradictory: lot 1 is marked cancelled while the award and contract records are marked active.
Market significanceThis is a PSR direct-award process for existing primary-care services, rather than an openly competed opportunity. The notice identifies an incumbent/existing provider but supplies no comparative competition or evaluation evidence.
