## Summary

The University of Exeter procured student healthcare support delivered through quarterly payments. The requirement is for general practitioner services, supporting the university’s student health provision. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter, and the services are associated with delivery in Exeter. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate service lots. The selected provider is St Thomas Medical Group, a medical practice in Exeter. This opportunity is therefore relevant to GP practices and healthcare providers able to support student health services for a higher education organisation, particularly those with an established local service presence and the operational ability to provide healthcare support linked to quarterly payment arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to St Thomas Medical Group. The University of Exeter used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 27 January 2026. The contract was signed on 27 January 2026 and runs from 27 January 2026 to 27 January 2027. Its value is £30,526.88 gross. The contract is active. The procurement had one lot, covering the general-practitioner services requirement. The contracting route was therefore a below-threshold, non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies St Thomas Medical Group as the selected supplier. No separate evaluation weighting or competitive award criteria are recorded.

For suppliers that did not secure this contract, the procurement provides a clear indication of the University of Exeter’s demand for local general-practitioner services supporting students. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable GP or primary-care service, provide healthcare support to a student population, and manage the administrative arrangements needed for quarterly payments. St Thomas Medical Group is identified as an SME based in Exeter, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local medical provider rather than only a large healthcare organisation. Relevant capability therefore centres on GP service delivery, local operational capacity, and the ability to work directly with a university on a defined student health requirement.
