## Summary

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority commissioned physiotherapy services for its workforce across clinics throughout Devon and Somerset. The requirement covers in-person physiotherapy treatment, delivered at clinics across the buyer’s geographical area, with the level of activity varying according to demand. The procurement is categorised as physiotherapy services (CPV 85142100) and falls within the wider public services category. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Exeter. The service is relevant to physiotherapy providers able to operate across Devon and Somerset and support patients through clinic-based treatment. Delivery is associated with the whole Devon and Somerset geographical area rather than a single named site.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority used a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Exeter Physio Limited and signed on 19 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 November 2027 to 30 April 2029. Its value is £63,000 excluding VAT and £75,600 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the full requirement. Demand is variable; the stated average requirement is 818 in-person physiotherapy sessions per year, based on demand in financial years 2023-24 to 2025-26. The award is active and the contract is active, indicating that a supplier has been selected and the arrangement is in place.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for clinic-based physiotherapy supporting Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority. A competing provider would need to deliver in-person physiotherapy across the buyer’s geographical area, manage demand that changes over time and maintain sufficient clinical capacity for a recurring annual volume of several hundred sessions. Exeter Physio Limited, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, showing that a local or regional specialist can meet this type of requirement. Relevant providers should be able to operate multiple clinic locations or provide reliable coverage across Devon and Somerset, organise appointments around fluctuating demand and deliver a consistent physiotherapy service for a public-sector workforce.
