Summary of the contracting process
The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has successfully awarded a contract for "Special Allocation Services" to Queens Medical Centre. This procurement process, governed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was concluded using Direct Award Process C. The contract, valued at £880,000 (excluding VAT), will commence on 1st July 2025 with an initial term of two years and an option to extend for an additional two years.
The contract delivery is focused on providing core primary medical services in the County of Devon for patients removed from general practice due to violent or aggressive behaviour. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication, specifically for this service requirement, and thus fell outside the typical procurement directives.
The tender process, though initially decided through direct award, emphasises quality, value, integration, equalities, and social value, indicating a preference for providers who can offer comprehensive solutions meeting these criteria.
