Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of specialist integrated sexual health services in West Kent. The procurement process was governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This award notice confirms that Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has been selected as the supplier, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026 and ending on 31st March 2028. The contract is valued at £14,049,371.90 and falls under the services category, specifically family planning services, in the South East of the United Kingdom. The standstill period, allowing for representations by providers, concluded on 14th April 2026, following the publication of the notice.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare, particularly those with expertise in sexual health services. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not found suitable for this contract, large organisations with the required capabilities in providing comprehensive health services could benefit from similar opportunities. Engaging with such high-value contracts can lead to substantial growth for businesses capable of delivering specialised healthcare solutions in partnership with local councils and trusts. The competitive nature of the Provider Selection Regime demonstrates a commitment to partnering with organisations that can deliver high-quality healthcare services efficiently.
