Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board is pursuing an award for the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Rehabilitation Service in Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire. Governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this procurement is a limited procedure without a preceding call for competition, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The publication on 1st September 2025 initiates a standstill period allowing providers to make representations until 11th September 2025. The planned contract for Headway Bedford, awarded in August 2025, spans two years from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028 and holds a value of £371,662.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for growth within the health services industry, focusing on comprehensive rehabilitation services for individuals suffering from acquired brain injuries. Businesses specialising in various therapeutic services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or counselling psychology could find potential collaboration or expansion in the ABI rehabilitation sector. Furthermore, companies experienced in delivering cognitive educational programmes or community health services are positioned well to compete in this procurement. The direct award process favours existing providers, yet the structured nature of the tender demands a high standard of service provision, paving the way for competent partners to explore service augmentation or alliances.
