Summary of the contracting process

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has undertaken a procurement process for a contract titled "Suicide Bereavement Services" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process utilised a Direct Award procedure, specifically without prior publication of a competitive call, and is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2026, culminating on 31st March 2028. The primary industry category is Health Services, designated under the CPV code 85100000. The procurement, which has now concluded with an awarded contract valued at £759,878, involves a service that includes a real-time surveillance system for bereavement services and is based in Exeter, United Kingdom (UKK4 region). The final contract was officially awarded on 8th January 2026, and no representations or conflicts of interest were reported during the contracting process.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing innovative bereavement care solutions. Companies with expertise in health service delivery, especially those already operating under or familiar with the Provider Selection Regime, would find themselves well-positioned to engage in similar services. The direct award to Pete's Dragons, already a proven supplier in this sector, underscores the preference for experienced providers who can meet service standards effectively. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with agile responses and bespoke health service offerings may find such contracts beneficial for enhancing their portfolio within the health services industry.
