Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Specialist Hospitals" overseen by NHS Devon Integrated Care Board focused on the provision of specialist hospital services within the health services industry category. This procurement, located in the United Kingdom, was completed under a contract awarded to multiple existing providers for a period of six months starting from 1 April 2025, with an option to extend for another six months. The procurement used a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of the directive. The process was marked as a direct award to current providers to bridge the gap until a full re-procurement could be initiated.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses capable of delivering specialised health services to complex individuals. Companies like SMEs and large-scale providers in the health sector, such as Cygnet Health Care Limited, Elysium Healthcare Limited, and Iris Care Group, successfully competed for this contract. The activity-based payment model allows flexibility for companies accustomed to that approach, potentially benefitting those looking to establish or expand their presence within NHS service provision, fostering business growth through integration into the highly regarded NHS network.
