Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust as the buying organisation, which intends to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for Level 3 Sexual Health Services within Kent Prisons. This contract pertains to the industry category of community health services, with delivery locations specified as Kent Prisons in the UK. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with a standstill period commencing immediately following the publication of this notice, and provider representations must be submitted by 5th November 2025. The procurement method was a limited procedure, meaning the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons limiting competition. The contract, valued at £1,439,449, has been awarded to KENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of specialised community health services, particularly those that offer sexual health services aligned with the needs of prison populations. The contract's focus suggests that enterprises with expertise in delivering healthcare services in secure environments, or those that can overcome logistical challenges associated with providing services within prisons, would be well-positioned to compete or partner in similar future PSR procurements. Although now complete, understanding the criteria and constraints of such procurements can help businesses prepare for future opportunities and collaborations with organisations like the NHS and other public sector bodies.
