This request constituted a significant modification, which is not permitted under the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015. As a result, the Council issued a three-month termination notice.\nThe supplier has since advised that they will cease service on 31/07/2025, two months earlier than the termination notice end date.\nThe service is essential for supporting timely hospital discharge and end-of-life care within individuals\u0027 homes. To maintain continuity, the Council entered discussions with Millbrook, an experienced provider with existing infrastructure in Devon delivering Community Equipment Services.\nGiven the short notice and the impracticality of conducting a full tender within the available timeframe, the Council has decided to make a direct award to Millbrook under Section 41 and Sections 13 and 14 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023.",
