Tender description

Wheelchair services in the Plymouth and South Hams locations 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.

About the buyer

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board commissions health and care services across Devon as one of England's NHS integrated care boards, buying through its corporate services team. Procurement of health care services follows the Provider Selection Regime, introduced in 2024. Providers register free on an e-sourcing system to bid for contracts. Route B allows direct award to providers with no existing contract. Specialist services such as dermatology and orthopaedics are commissioned through lead provider frameworks. Non-clinical purchases follow NHS terms and conditions, and clinical contracts use the NHS Standard Contract.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS Devon Integrated Care Board's contract awards have been in health and social work, IT services and business services.
