## Summary

The procurement process overseen by the NHS Devon Integrated Care Board, titled "P1 staffing capacity Exeter," pertains to the urgent provision of short-term staffing support for P1 discharges from the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in Exeter. Categorised under the industry of social work and related services, this process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 10th October 2025. The contract involves services and was necessitated due to a surge in winter demand which overwhelmed local capacity, requiring additional staffing support. The awarded contract, valued at £50,400, is scheduled to start on 27th October 2025, running for six weeks, and involves deploying three members of staff for up to 200 hours per week.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare services firms, particularly those with expertise in urgent staffing solutions and a history of quality service delivery in the health and social care sectors. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication due to the urgent nature of requirements and falls outside traditional directive scopes, allowing businesses that are agile and can respond quickly to urgent needs to thrive. Companies with a strong regional presence and competitive pricing structures, especially those experienced in peripatetic service delivery, would be well-suited to engage with similar future contracts.
