## Summary

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board is progressing through the procurement process for the "Antipsychotic Medication Reviews" contract, which is at the award stage under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This service falls under the health industry category, focusing on psychiatrist or psychologist services, and is slated for delivery in Devon, with involvement from existing contracted supplier RTN Medical Limited. Under the PSR, representations from providers should be made by 23 October 2025, marking the end of the standstill period. The procurement method used was limited, without prior publication of a competition call, and the contract is intended for a one-year term.

This tender can provide significant business opportunities, particularly for healthcare service providers with expertise in psychiatric care and drug monitoring. Businesses that are equipped to support antipsychotic medication management, both in-person and remotely via digital platforms, are well-suited to compete. The contract's structured reliance on quality and cost criteria, with an emphasis on the most suitable provider, presents an opportunity for firms to showcase their service delivery capabilities and competitive pricing models. It opens avenues for companies aiming to expand their footprint in the healthcare service sector within the UK, especially those familiar with managing clinical services in compliance with NICE guidelines and leveraging remote communication technologies.
