Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has recently awarded a contract for the provision of Falls Prevention services in West Sussex, under the title "WSCC - Falls Prevention." This procurement falls under the services category in the health sector, specifically aligned with community health services. The procurement process, which followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, bypassed typical Public Contract Regulations and aimed at selecting the Most Suitable Provider. The contract was awarded on 4th December 2025, with an active start date from 9th February 2026, extending until 31st March 2027. AHS WELLBEING ONLINE CIC, located at Haywards Heath, was identified as the successful supplier through a limited procurement method tailored to selecting the most suitable provider. The contract holds a lifetime value of £257,874, a figure that supports its focus on quality, innovation, and value. Key evaluation criteria included quality, value, service sustainability, and social value.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services and community engagement, particularly those with a focus on innovative health solutions. SMEs like AHS WELLBEING ONLINE CIC, which were able to demonstrate superior service quality, integration, and social value, were well-positioned to compete under this regime. The evaluation process highlighted a preference for providers that show a commitment to improving accessibility, reducing health inequalities, and contributing positively to social value through their services. Businesses capable of meeting these expectations can leverage such procurement opportunities to expand their market presence and enhance their credibility in the health services sector.
