In R (RB) V Devon County Council, Judgment 19 October 2012, it was held that a change of provider of an Integrated Children’s Service (“ICS”) engaged the PSED at various stages of the procurement process, including the decision to retain the ICS under a single provider and the award of preferred bidder status, but not the possibility of future (post contract) changes in the provision of the ICS, until the detail of such changes was sufficiently well established. However, anything other than declaratory relief was refused, on account of urgency, the fact that the PSED had been addressed at the intention to award contract stage, lack of detriment to the claimant family, and quashing being detrimental to the children of Devon generally.
