Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (BLMK ICB) is in the process of awarding a contract for the "BLMK Specialised Acquired Brain Injury & Stroke Rehabilitation Service" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract process is part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The industry category is health services, specifically focusing on specialised rehabilitation for patients with complex brain injury or stroke needs. The contract is intended to be awarded to the existing provider, Oakleaf Care (Hartwell) Limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, covering services from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028 in Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes. The process is currently at the award stage, with an important standstill period for representations ending at midnight on 11th September 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the provision of specialised rehabilitation services, particularly those capable of handling complex medical needs that surpass general and specialist local services. Although the contract is set to be awarded to the current provider due to their successful performance and unique ability to meet the specified requirements, it highlights the potential for businesses capable of delivering niche healthcare services to collaborate with public health entities. Companies looking to expand their reach in specialised health services can take this as a case study of the importance of proven expertise and the capacity to cater to highly specific patient needs in securing public contracts.
