Summary of the contracting process

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has successfully concluded a re-procurement process for GPwER contracts, specifically targeting vasectomy services, as part of their general-practitioner service offerings. The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with relevant regulations specifically outlined in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process was executed via a limited procurement method, with NHS Devon employing a direct award process. The contract, valued at approximately £673,359 over its lifetime, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. Interested parties were required to submit representations to NHS Devon by the deadline of 18th March 2026, with the standstill period allowing for a review of any concerns before formal selection. Key evaluation criteria included quality, value, integration, improving equalities, and social value, each weighted equally.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers specialising in general-practitioner services to expand operations in Exeter and surrounding areas within the UKK4 region. With contracts awarded to Amicus Health, Bideford Medical Centre, Northam Surgery, and St Thomas Health Centre, established businesses that have demonstrated a consistent ability to deliver quality services within financial requirements stand the most chance at contract acquisition. Large-scale providers with robust systems for managing patient activity and contractual obligations will find growth potential through sustained service provision under these contracts, further bolstered by activity-based payment arrangements. The procurement method utilised allows for a direct award, presenting direct access to NHS Devon's logistical and financial frameworks for efficient service delivery. As such, businesses positioned to innovate and streamline operations aligned with the NHS Devon Integrated Care Board's goals will benefit from engaging with this tender.
