Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for 'Acute Services' under the Provider Selection Regime as described in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This award was completed without the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 applicable, indicating a more streamlined process. The procurement method was limited, allowing direct award without prior publication due to the unique nature of service provision. This decision was finalised at the Executive Management Committee and was signed on 30th June 2025. The services, classified under the CPV code 85100000 for Health services, are related to acute hospital services throughout the UK, with Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust being the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £321,854, is now active.

This contract presents specific opportunities for businesses established within the UK's healthcare services industry, particularly those capable of providing acute hospital services. Due to the unique service requirements and the direct award procurement process that negates competition, the opportunities may be more relevant to existing large healthcare providers or those with particular expertise or unique service offerings in this specialised area. Businesses considering entering similar procurement processes may benefit from understanding this regime and the conditions under which limited procurement methods are applied.
