Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (BLMK ICB) is in the final stages of awarding a contract for Community Intermediate Care Rehabilitation Services. This contract will support patients discharged from hospitals through services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and care from therapy assistants. The procurement falls under the Health Services category, with a specific focus on health services in Luton, UK (Region UKH21). A limited procurement method was used, bypassing the need for prior competition publication. The contract was approved on 13th August 2025, and the intention to award notice takes effect on 1st September 2025. The standstill period is in place, with the deadline for provider representations by 11th September 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers specializing in rehabilitation and therapy services to establish or expand their offerings within the community health sector. The contract is valued at £4,034,317 for a two-year duration, providing ample opportunity for growth and expansion within the health services industry. Organisations that have experience in delivering multidisciplinary rehabilitation and comprehensive support to patients, especially those familiar with the unique needs of acquired brain injury (ABI) patients, would find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. The procurement method also suggests a preference for well-established providers with proven track records, thus creating further opportunities for large-scale service providers to engage in this sector.
