Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has announced the award of the contract for the Tiverton Urgent Treatment Centre, located in Devon. The procurement process, focusing on medical practice services, falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and adheres to Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £3,258,592, covers the period from 1 October 2025 to 1 April 2027, with an optional six-month extension. This direct award process, identified as Process C, involved no prior call for competition due to the unique regulatory circumstances. The award was confirmed on 27 August 2025. This decision followed a structured evaluation based on quality, value, integration, equality, and social value criteria, ensuring that the existing provider, South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, continues their effective service delivery.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, especially those with expertise in urgent treatment and emergency medical services. Companies that demonstrate strong integration capabilities with existing local services, like the 111 service, and possess robust governance and quality assurance frameworks, are well-positioned to thrive in similar tendering opportunities. Additionally, businesses that prioritize social value, such as local employment and training, or those with innovative approaches to continuous improvement and patient safety, can leverage their capabilities to secure future contracts in a competitive market. This contract demonstrates a clear path for businesses focused on expanding within the healthcare services industry, particularly under the regulatory structure provided by the PSR.
