Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by NHS Devon Integrated Care Board, focuses on providing face-to-face autism assessments for patients of all ages in Devon. Under the industry category of psychiatrist or psychologist services, the procurement method used was a limited procedure, awarding without a prior call for competition. The awarded contract was decided without adherence to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, making use of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement has concluded with one active contract awarded to Seven Care Services Ltd, set to run from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2027, with NHS Devon ICB serving as the decision-making authority. The primary location for service delivery is UKK4, which includes Devon.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health care services, particularly those adept at providing autism assessments. Businesses that have experience in delivering quality psychiatric and psychological services and can adhere to regulatory requirements would thrive in this environment. Seven Care Services Ltd, an SME from Lichfield, successfully secured the contract, indicating a demand for agile, specialised providers in the health sector. The focus on patient choice as both a quality and cost criterion suggests that businesses capable of delivering personalised healthcare experiences will be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders.
