UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon Partnership NHS Trust intends to procure Expert by Experience services. The work is classified as administrative healthcare services and is intended for delivery in Devon. The description identifies the procurement as services intended to support the Trust’s Expert by Experience activity, but gives no further detail on the service tasks or intended users. This is a single-lot requirement, so the planned service is not divided into separately described packages. The Trust, based in Exeter, is the buying organisation. The procurement is being prepared under a concession regime. Suppliers with experience providing administrative support in healthcare settings may find the service area relevant; the Trust’s suitability assessment also includes small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to run a tender exercise, but has not yet invited bids. It has arranged preliminary market engagement, with responses to expressions of interest requested until 10 November 2026. The Trust expects the next notice on 30 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an extension possible until 31 March 2030. The stated estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The requirement is a single lot. No selection requirements or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage; suppliers should treat the dates and contract arrangements as the buyer’s current expectations rather than a bid deadline.

The requirement may suit providers of administrative healthcare services, including smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the Trust identifies as suitable to participate. It is a single service package rather than several separately specified lots, and its stated concession regime may be relevant to suppliers familiar with concession-based delivery. The planned service start and end dates and the possible extension indicate a continuing service requirement rather than a one-off purchase. Suppliers can use the market-engagement stage to consider whether their healthcare administration expertise matches the Trust’s intended need and to inform preparations for the later tender. The current description does not set out specific accreditations, staffing levels, technical standards or experience thresholds, so the eventual competitive requirements should be checked when the tender is published.
