## Summary

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board is seeking to procure wheelchair services, encompassing both acute and community health and social care equipment, for the areas of Plymouth and South Hams. This procurement process falls under the 'goods' category with a specific focus on 'wheelchairs' as per the CPV classification 33193120. The procurement process is at the Tender Update stage, with key deadlines including an extension of the framework until 31st December 2025 due to several factors including the Pre-election period and organisational restructuring. The amendments indicate an adjustment in the total value of the contract, excluding VAT, now standing at £4,724,990.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for those in the healthcare equipment sector. Companies well-versed in providing wheelchair services will find this tender particularly suited to their strengths. The procurement method utilises a limited procedure, leveraging the SBS Framework Agreement, which means that businesses familiar with dealing within such frameworks will have a competitive edge. The contract is a direct award procedure without prior call for competition, making it essential for businesses to have a strong pre-existing relationship with public procurement frameworks. The opportunity to extend the contract by 12 months further allows for long-term business growth and stability for the winning bidder.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The framework representative has confirmed that the framework has been extended for 12 months until the 31st of December 2025, and it is possible to have an agreement in place that goes past the expiry date. Devon ICB's reasoning for the direct award of 2 +1 is that this service will require at least 12-14 month procurement to secure the best value for money service when taking into consideration the time period required for service design, user engagement, procurement process and mobilisation. The initial scheduled procurement was delayed due to the Pre-election period and Devon ICB's restructuring phase will likely not conclude until March 2025.

Options: Framework allows an extension of 12 months.
