Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board has concluded the Adult Mental Health Services procurement under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This contract, focused on health services, specifically adult mental health, is situated in the UKJ45 region, covering Kent and Medway. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 27th May 2025 and executed from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. Conducted using a limited procurement method, the process justified a direct award due to the unique service capabilities required, which are currently provided by the existing supplier, Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT).

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in health services that specialise in adult mental health care. While the direct award limits competition due to technical constraints and lack of alternatives, it highlights a business environment that values established, capable providers who can deliver continuous and specialist mental health services. Companies with similar expertise or looking to understand the procurement requirements of NHS frameworks will find insights into the regulatory and operational standards needed to enter and succeed in this market.
