Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board has engaged in a procurement process titled "Gcloud 13 Anima Online Consultation," categorised under IT services, which includes consulting, software development, Internet support, and is specific to the "services" procurement category. This initiative is targeted at practices in the Kent and Medway area within the UKJ region. The procurement method utilised was limited, carried out without prior publication due to the Gcloud 13 framework's pre-established status and compliance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015. As of December 2025, the contract has proceeded to the award stage, where Continuum Health Limited has been actively awarded the contract, with the total contract value being approximately £997,002.24, effective from 7th November 2024, and spanning a period of 1440 days.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, specifically those providing consulting and software development, to extend their offerings to public health organisations. The focus on developing and supporting Internet applications for healthcare aligns with ongoing trends in digital transformation within the NHS. Companies with expertise in developing patient triage functionality and healthcare consultation software should find this contract particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Continuum Health Limited, are well-positioned to leverage their specialised capabilities in consultation tools and software solutions to enhance healthcare delivery across practices, ultimately fostering business growth within the public sector.
