Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "GPwER - Cardiology," conducted by NHS Devon Integrated Care Board, focuses on securing general practitioner services with enhanced responsibility for cardiology. Located in Exeter, United Kingdom, NHS Devon is re-procuring existing contracts under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This process, governed by direct award procedure C, does not fall under the Procurement Act Regulations 2023. The procurement stage has reached the confirmation of contract award notice, with the decision being formalised on 19 March 2027, and the contract term spanning from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. These services are anticipated to have an approximate lifetime value of £314,160. The region of service delivery is identified as UKK4, aligning with the service's placement within the healthcare industry category.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for healthcare providers equipped to deliver cardiology services under enhanced general practitioner roles. The tender specifically targets entities like large-scale medical centres with proven capabilities in offering quality health services and maintaining financial management standards. Awarded under a regime that favours direct award processes without prior publication calls for competition, businesses with existing collaborations in the NHS framework, such as the awarded Mayfield Medical Centre in Paignton, are positioned well. Competitors in similar domains could explore opportunities to strengthen partnerships with the NHS and expand their service offerings in compliance with the provider selection criteria emphasising quality, value, integration, improving equalities, and social value, each weighted equally at 20%.
