Summary of the contracting process

NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, based in Derby, is responsible for commissioning a service titled "Living Well VCSE Service - Derby City" under the health services category (CPV code: 85100000). This procurement process, supported by NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU, follows the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 using an open procedure. The contract, valued at £2,750,000, will commence on 1st December 2024 and run for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for up to two additional years. The procurement stage has reached completion with the awarding of the contract to Citizens Advice Mid Mercia, and it was initially tendered with a bid deadline of 17th June 2024.

This opportunity provides significant potential for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in health services looking to expand into the public sector. Companies with expertise in providing volunteer community service elements, like those entailed in the VCSE Service, stand to benefit considerably. The procurement process was open, allowing for competitive pricing and quality offerings, and is governed by clearly structured criteria focusing 80% on quality and 20% on price. With a substantial contract value and the stability offered by a potential five-year engagement, SMEs and large organisations alike could find robust opportunities within this framework.
