Summary of the contracting process

In March 2025, the NHS Devon Integrated Care Board published the results of a procurement process for GP support to community hospitals in South and West Devon. Designated under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, this tender falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract has been awarded, with the formal commencement on 1 April 2025 lasting until 31 March 2027, with an optional 12-month extension. The contract's total value is £592,230, emphasising services in the general practitioner (CPV Code 85121100) category within the South and West Devon regions.

This procurement creates substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for healthcare providers specialising in general practitioner services. Businesses already performing in healthcare or looking to expand their service offerings within community hospitals would be well-suited for this contract. The direct award method under the PSR indicates a streamlined process, advantageous for existing providers who meet the stringent criteria set by NHS Devon ICB, including quality, value, integration, social value, and improving equalities. Companies scaling their healthcare services or maintaining high standards in existing contracts should consider competitive bids in such sectors to seize these lucrative opportunities.
