## Summary

Devon County Council has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Healthwatch and Local Engagement," which falls under the health and social care sector. The tender, initiated as an open procedure, encompassed two distinct lots focused on health and social care engagement activities over a five-year period, beginning on 1st April 2017 and culminating on 31st March 2020. The total estimated value for Lot 1 is GBP 1,965,930, while Lot 2 has a variable value between GBP 0 and GBP 1,187,146. The delivery location for these services is within the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the solicitation period concluded on 14th October 2016, leading to the award decision made on 30th January 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the health and social care consultancy domain, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). With a total contract value exceeding GBP 3 million, suitable competitors may include organisations with experience in consumer voice roles, community engagement, and social support services. Businesses that are well-versed in providing research and development services, as well as those that can foster community relations, will find themselves in an advantageous position to compete for future contracts of similar nature.

## Notice

This contract consists of 2 Lots which cover two sets of activities which were combined into one single Healthwatch Devon contract from March 2013 until April 2017. Those activities are the Healthwatch Devon statutory health and social care consumer voice role (Lot 1) and the now separate local health and social care engagement function (Lot 2). The estimated total value for Lot 1 is GBP 1 965 930 for the five (5) years of the contract. The local engagement service (Lot 2) has no set contract value as there is no guarantee of business, but value will be between GBP 0 and GBP 1 187 146 for the five (5) years of the contract.
