## Summary

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board recently concluded a public procurement process involving the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector (VCSE) to coordinate various support services pivotal to the Integrated Care System (ICS). The procurement, managed by the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, was classified under "Other community, social and personal services" (CPV: 98000000) with a contract value of £100,000. This single tender action, below threshold, began on 1st April 2024 and will end on 31st March 2026. The delivery regions specified are within the South West of the United Kingdom, and the award date was marked on 9th September 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the community, social, and personal services sector, especially those classified as SMEs or part of the VCSE. Companies that specialise in providing support services like elective recovery, virtual ward patient care, discharge support, and community transport will find this contract particularly beneficial for growth. The awarded supplier, Community Council of Devon, exemplifies organisations well-suited to such engagements, leveraging local expertise and community-driven services. The contract's emphasis on improving healthcare delivery in the South West further positions it as a valuable growth avenue for capable enterprises.

## Notice

NHSE(I) guidance (Sept 2021), recognises the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector as a key strategic partner with an important contribution to make in shaping, improving, and delivering services, and encourages the development of VCSE Assemblies/Alliances. The VCSE Assembly coordinates delivery of several key areas of work for the ICS that has a direct effect on elective recovery e.g. it coordinates and delivers our Waiting Well support services, it provides a wraparound service for Virtual Ward patients ensuring more patients and their carers are supported in their own home, it coordinates discharge support services across all four of our hospitals and delivers the community transport offer ensuring people can travel safely back to their homes when being discharged.
