Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has concluded the award process for the contract focused on Mental Health, Learning Disability, and Neurodiversity Services, as a system partner in Devon. The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, which exclude the application of the Procurement Act Regulations 2023 for this award. The contract, valued at £1,031,875,000, including a potential two-year extension, will commence on 1st April 2026. The procurement stage is the Award, and the contract has been successfully awarded to the Devon Partnership NHS Trust in Exeter, located in the UKK4 region. This procurement did not follow a call for competition but rather a direct award process due to the lack of realistic alternative providers, ensuring a seamless transition within the health services provided by the Devon ICS.

This tender decision provides considerable growth opportunities for large service providers within the psychiatric and psychological service industry. Companies that specialise in system-wide health solutions and possess the capability to deliver comprehensive mental health services will find significant potential in such contracts, particularly within the Devon region. The direct award process highlights the strategic importance of partnerships within integrated health systems, opening avenues for large-scale collaborations that reinforce service integration efforts. Service providers who possess infrastructure and expertise in healthcare systems will be well-positioned to support the Trust's objectives, paving the way for long-term engagement in delivering specialised health services.
