Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured personal two-way radio devices for emergency response and incident management across its main campuses. The requirement is for small-scale radio systems and related equipment, classified under CPV 92213000, within the goods category. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at Farm Villa, Hermitage Lane, Maidstone, and locations in England. The radios are intended to support operational communication across healthcare campuses, helping staff coordinate during emergencies and manage incidents. This is a focused requirement for suppliers of personal radio equipment and small radio communication systems, rather than a broader telecommunications, construction or professional services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to RADIOCOMS SYSTEMS LIMITED. The award value is £75,000, with the estimated procurement range stated as £41,167 minimum to £75,000 maximum, all in GBP. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2029. The tender closed for submissions on 19 July 2026 at 12:00. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was evaluated through that purchasing route for the Trust’s stated radio requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is an SME, and the award is active.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for dependable personal radio communications in mental health settings, where rapid coordination and incident response are operationally important. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have experience supplying, configuring and supporting two-way personal radios for multi-site healthcare or other safety-critical environments. Credibility would come from understanding radio coverage, device resilience, user training, charging and battery management, fault response, replacement equipment and ongoing technical support. Businesses should also be able to work through a dynamic purchasing system call-off and meet the practical demands of deployment across several campuses without disrupting clinical operations. The result indicates that an SME specialist can compete successfully when it combines suitable equipment with reliable implementation and support services.
