Summary of the contracting process

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Autism Assessment Services for individuals of all ages to Kirsop-Taylor Healthcare Ltd. The procurement process falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and excludes the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, reviewed by the NHS Devon Right to Choose Steering Group, follows Direct Award Process B with no identified conflicts of interest. The services will be provided in the UKK4 region, covering Devon. The contract starts on 10th March 2025 and runs until 31st March 2026, with an option for a 12-month extension.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in healthcare services. Kirsop-Taylor Healthcare Ltd, an SME from Chichester, has already been awarded the contract, indicating that smaller firms with expertise in psychological or psychiatric services can be competitive. The focus on quality, specifically patient choice, underscores the value placed on patient-centric care. Companies that can provide comprehensive autism assessments and psychoeducational provisions can benefit from similar procurement opportunities in the future.
