What changed
NHS Lincolnshire ICB published a contract award notice for Community Mental Health Services valued at £289,497 to Lincolnshire Rural Support Network (an SME). The contract uses direct award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, meaning the existing provider was assessed as satisfying the original contract and likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The standstill period runs from 20 April 2026 with representations due by 30 April 2026. This notice serves as an intention to award — the contract has not yet formally been awarded.
Affected parties including other healthcare providers or interested parties have until 30 April 2026 to submit representations to the decision-makers via licb.lincsccgcontracting@nhs.net. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award, as it falls under the separate Provider Selection Regime framework for healthcare services.
