## Summary

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, with assistance from NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU, has completed the procurement process for the commissioning of Wheelchair Services. This procurement, operating within the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000), was conducted under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 using a one-stage process similar to an Open process. The tender, which is now at the award stage, saw Blatchford Limited as the successful supplier, with the contract confirmed for a period beginning 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2030. The total contract value, including a potential two-year extension, is £17,310,000. The procurement included an affordability threshold, capping annual bids at £3,462,000, and hence disqualifying any exceeding bids.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those specialising in providing wheelchair services. Companies, especially SMEs and VCSEs, that can deliver high-quality wheelchair services within the specified budget constraints, could find substantial growth potential by securing such contracts. Furthermore, this procurement highlights the value of partnering with large NHS bodies, which offers stability and the possibility of long-term contractual relationships, beneficial for scaling and increasing business credibility.
