## Summary

Devon County Council, in partnership with Plymouth City Council, Torbay Council, and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), has awarded the contract titled "CP1734-19 The Provision of Healthwatch and Local Engagement in the County of Devon." This contract falls under the health and social work services category and covers the South West of the United Kingdom. The award was published on 28 January 2020, with the contract set to commence on 1 April 2020 and to run until 31 March 2023. The total contract value is £4,080,000, and it includes two lots focusing on statutory health consumer voice and local health engagement. The procurement process initiated as a tender and was completed under an unspecified procurement method.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that provide health outreach, community engagement, and consumer advocacy services would be well-placed to participate in this process, especially those with experience in working collaboratively within the health sector. Engaging with the strong Healthwatch brand and being part of a solution that bolsters local health services can help businesses to expand their operations while contributing positively to community health outcomes.

## Notice

Devon County Council, Plymouth City Council and Torbay Council in partnership with NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), are proposing to jointly commission a Healthwatch and Local Engagement Contract across the footprint of the Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) for Devon. The contract will be made up of two Lots: * Lot 1 - Statutory Health and Social Care Consumer Voice (Local Healthwatch), funded by all three local authorities, with the CCG as a key stakeholder; and * Lot 2 - Local Health and Social Care Engagement, with the three local authorities and the CCG all being parties to this element of the contract. Services purchased under this lot will be on a 'call-off' purchase basis only. By working together, there is greater opportunity for continued service innovation, collaborative working, sharing knowledge, expertise and capacity in order to jointly realise benefits for service users and maintain a sustainable Local Healthwatch function and support community engagement on health and social care issues. A key to this will be: retaining the strong Healthwatch brand within Devon, Plymouth and Torbay, building on the good work to date; ensuring the public can continue to access Local Healthwatch face-to-face; and sustaining the volunteer base in all three areas, recognising the vital role they play in supporting Local Healthwatch and engaging with their communities. It is envisaged that the new contract will commence on 1st April 2020.
