Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey procured specialist medical appeal board services for use by both authorities. The requirement covers convening and providing medical appeal boards when required, supporting appeals relating to police medical matters. It is a services contract and was arranged as a single-supplier framework, with provision for continuation for an additional year under the framework extension. Delivery covers the English regions of 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 and Crime Commissioner for Surrey, based in Guildford. The relevant service classification is specialist medical services (CPV 85121200).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Duradiamond Healthcare Ltd trading as Health Partners. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2023. It used a limited procedure, negotiated without publication of a contract notice, under a single-supplier framework. The stated rationale was that the framework was already in use; the published basis also refers to no suitable tenders or requests from a restricted procedure and the absence of competition for technical reasons. There was one lot covering the full requirement. Bid statistics for the lot recorded valid bids ranging from £42,872.74 to £162,872.74, with figures shown in GBP. The procurement was evaluated through this restricted, negotiated route rather than an open competition.

This award indicates an established requirement for specialist medical appeal board provision within policing, with the service delivered across all English regions. A credible future competitor would need access to suitably qualified medical specialists, the governance and clinical processes to convene independent appeal boards, and the operational capacity to respond when appeals arise across a wide geographic area. The single-supplier framework and the stated technical-reasons rationale indicate that specialist capability, continuity and dependable nationwide coverage were important to the buyer’s route to market. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate robust medical assessment and appeal-board experience, reliable case handling, appropriate clinical governance, and the ability to coordinate services for police authorities across England.
