Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured environmental control systems services for medical and clinical assessment supported by specialist rehabilitation engineering. The requirement is classified as environmental engineering consultancy services and sits within the services category. Delivery is associated with Farm Villa, Hermitage Lane, Maidstone, Kent, and the wider England area. The work is relevant to businesses providing environmental control solutions, clinical assessment and rehabilitation engineering support for people with healthcare or independent-living needs. It combines clinical understanding with specialist engineering input, rather than being a straightforward supply-only requirement. The buying organisation is an NHS mental health trust, so suppliers would need to work effectively in a healthcare setting and support patient-focused outcomes.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 28 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Possum Limited on 29 July 2026 for £294,000 including the stated contract value, with a contract period from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information describes the requirement and procurement route, but gives no separate lot structure or stated award scoring basis. This was a single award to one supplier, rather than multiple awards split between providers.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust for integrated environmental control systems, clinical assessment and specialist rehabilitation engineering. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in designing or supporting environmental controls, alongside the ability to assess individual clinical needs and translate them into suitable engineering solutions. Experience working with NHS or other healthcare organisations would help demonstrate understanding of clinical governance, patient safety and multidisciplinary working. The scale of the awarded requirement indicates that smaller specialist businesses can compete through a framework call-off, provided they can evidence sufficient technical capability, delivery capacity and reliable support for users and clinical teams.
