Summary of the contracting process

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board commissioned an all-age, community-based early intervention and prevention service for people with early-stage or emerging eating disorders and wider difficulties with eating. The service also supports families and carers. It is intended to provide a county-wide offer across Derbyshire. This is health-service provision, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and covers prevention and early support alongside help for those affected and their families.

The contract has been formally awarded to First Steps ED under the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026. Its value is £540,863, with services intended to run from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2029. The ICB’s evaluation gave equal importance to the key criteria: whether the incumbent provider was meeting the existing contract and was likely to perform the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, and value. The published criterion details assign 100 to quality and 0 to cost. One bid was recorded. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, although the later award confirmation records a formal award and the award and contract are active.

The award indicates demand from this ICB for a county-wide, community-based service combining early intervention and prevention for eating disorders with support for families and carers. A credible provider for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that it can deliver accessible support across Derbyshire to people of all ages, including those with emerging presentations and wider eating difficulties. The selection placed decisive emphasis on service quality and confidence in the provider’s ability to meet the required standard, rather than cost. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to show evidence of effective delivery against service requirements and the capacity to sustain a county-wide offer. The incumbent’s selection through a direct award reflects the stated assessment of its existing performance and expected capability.
