Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured specialist medical services to provide a medical appeals board for both authorities. The requirement covers medical appeals connected with police activity and is structured as a single-supplier framework. Services are intended to support activity across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, based in Lewes. The relevant service category is medical specialist services, under CPV 85121200. This is a service requirement rather than a supply or construction contract, and its broad delivery area suits providers able to operate across multiple English regions.

The procurement has completed and an active award was made to Duradiamond Healthcare Ltd trading as Health Partners. It used a limited negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice, relying on a single-supplier framework and stated technical reasons for the absence of competition. The award relates to one lot and the framework allows continuation of services for an additional year in line with its extension. The contract was signed on 1 October 2023. Bid statistics for the lot recorded valid bids ranging from £42,872.74 to £162,872.74, but these figures are not identified as the awarded contract value. The published outcome names the selected supplier but gives no award date.

This procurement indicates demand for an established provider of independent medical appeal board services supporting police-related decisions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitably qualified medical specialists, the ability to assess cases impartially and produce defensible appeal outcomes, and processes capable of handling sensitive occupational or police medical information. The single-supplier framework and wide English delivery coverage point to the importance of dependable national or multi-region capacity, consistent governance and coordinated administration. Relevant experience in medical appeals, occupational health, policing or other regulated public-sector settings would help demonstrate capability. Providers should also be able to maintain an appropriately staffed panel and deliver services consistently across the areas covered.
