The details of the award decision-maker is as follows:-
Jacquie Mowbray-Gould
Director - Mental Health, Learning Disability and Neurodiversity (MHLDN) Provider Collaborative
Conflicts of interest identified among group: 1
The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this conflict, and have decided to exclude the conflicted member from decision-making.
Key reasons for selecting the provider include:
• Strategic Fit and System Alignment: DPT, in partnership with the University of Exeter, demonstrated a strong fit with the Devon system's ambitions under the Community Mental Health Framework (CMHF). The AccEPT Clinic addresses the 'missing middle'-individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who are underserved by current pathways-thus helping close a known treatment gap and supporting delivery of integrated, recovery-oriented care
• Delivery of Evidence-Informed Care: The chosen provider offers a unique, co-produced, and research-integrated model of care grounded in the biopsychosocial approach. All therapy protocols are either NICE-concordant or delivered within ethically governed research frameworks, ensuring both clinical quality and innovation
• Outcomes and System Contribution: The service has a strong emphasis on measurable impact, including improved psychological wellbeing, increased access to tailored therapies, and enhancement of workforce capacity via training and supervision. This positions the clinic as both a direct provider and a system learning site
• Cost Effectiveness: The proposed model demonstrates cost-conscious delivery with a per-person and per-contact rate that compares favourably against non-NHS benchmarks, while providing enhanced service scope (e.g., expert by experience engagement, co-production, and trainee placements)
• Established Local Partnership and Delivery Track Record: DPT and the University of Exeter already jointly operate the service with robust governance, secure data infrastructure, and established pathways for safe clinical handover. Continuity of this arrangement supports service stability and minimises disruption for clients
• Uniqueness of Provision: The AccEPT Clinic is a unique offer within the Devon system. There is no other local provider currently able to deliver the combination of evidence-informed psychological therapies, integrated research activity, and co-produced delivery for this population group. The clinical-research model, specialist workforce, and system-wide contributions are not replicable by alternative providers within the local health and care landscape.
The decision to award is therefore grounded in the provider's unique ability to meet the specification's requirements while offering scalable system value, equity-focused service delivery, and demonstrable outcomes.
