Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB), operating under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, has completed the award stage of the procurement process for health services, specifically the Minor Injuries Unit over weekends. This short-term service will be provided in North Devon, specifically Ilfracombe, from 2nd August to 7th September 2025. The procurement followed a direct award process due to the incumbent provider's inability to continue services, thereby necessitating the selection of an alternate provider, Alliance Pioneer Group. The contract, valued at £15,000, is not governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and has been awarded to Alliance Pioneer Group, an SME based in Plymouth. The contract status is active as of 1st August 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs in the health services sector, especially those focusing on urgent care and minor injuries services. Businesses with expertise in healthcare provision, particularly those capable of stepping into short-term contracts, will find this an ideal opportunity to establish a foothold or expand their presence within the public health domain. Given the limited procurement method used, where competition was not held, suitable providers with unique or hard-to-replace capabilities in this niche area may have significant potential for growth through similar future procurements.
