Summary of the contracting process

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has completed the awarding process for a contract titled "RTC Children and Young People (2-18 years) ASD Assessment" in the services category. The procurement focused on the provision of ASD assessments for children and young people aged 2 to 18 years in Devon. This initiative uses a limited procurement method under the Provider Selection Regime, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition. Initially active from 1st June 2026 to 31st March 2027, the contract allows for a one-year extension to 31st March 2028. Exeter Paediatric Integrated Care (EPIC) Solutions was awarded the contract, effective from 25th March 2026, to deliver these services. The estimated contract value is nominal at £0.01, indicating activity-based payments rather than upfront contracts.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on paediatric mental health and assessments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Companies experienced in providing innovative, quality-driven healthcare services will find this contract appealing, especially given the emphasis on Patient Choice as both a quality and cost criterion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who can deliver flexible and adaptive outpatient care services will be well-suited to compete in similar opportunities under NHS procurement frameworks. Businesses interested in extending healthcare offerings within the South West region of the UK, especially those with the capability to provide both virtual and face-to-face assessments, might find future tenders valuable for expanding service reach and impact.
