Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has concluded a procurement process for Non AQP Audiology and Cardiology services under the Provider Selection Regime, which is governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The direct award process did not involve prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Express Diagnostics Ltd, with a term from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, and includes an option for a six-month extension. The procurement, valued at £1,166,490, was completed in the region of UKK43, Exeter. This process was specifically tailored to promote early diagnostics and mitigate the necessity for secondary care referrals by enhancing primary care capacity.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for providers specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on audiology and cardiology. Organisations able to deliver both service quality and value, while effectively integrating into primary care settings, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses committed to improving equalities and providing social value will find this opportunity beneficial. As the contract award is subject to the Provider Selection Regime, interested parties need to align with the outlined criteria, namely quality, value, integration, improving equalities, and social value dimensions. With Express Diagnostics Ltd taking a lead role, there is potential for collaboration and networking within this SME-focused procurement landscape.
