Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract for the urgent provision of Children & Young People Community Health and Wellbeing Services under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The procurement is specifically intended to ensure continuity following the unexpected withdrawal of the previous provider. The awarded contract, valued at £122,804,898, is set to commence on 1 April 2026 and will cover a period of two years, with an option to extend for an additional year. This process, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, is critical to maintaining essential services such as Neurodisability and Integrated Therapies, Learning Disability and Autistic Spectrum Disorders, and CAMHS services within the Devon region (excluding Plymouth). The NHS Devon ICB Procurement Oversight Group concluded the decision to award the contract to Devon Partnership NHS Trust on 26 November 2025, with no conflicts of interest reported.

This procurement represents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in health services, particularly those specialising in children and adolescent care, mental health services, and integrated therapies. As market engagement activities are anticipated, organisations within the health services sector can prepare to participate in the forthcoming competitive procurement process, which aims to secure long-term service provision. The urgency and high value of the contract provide a robust entry point for businesses adept at managing and delivering complex health services under challenging circumstances. Businesses offering innovative solutions to enhance the continuity and quality of care can leverage this opportunity to partner with NHS Devon ICB and potentially expand their service offerings and geographic reach in healthcare delivery.
