Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board is in the final stages of awarding a contract for the provision of stroke services in West Kent, under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process. This process, governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, bypasses the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process has reached the intention-to-award stage, with this notice marking the start of the standstill period. The contract, valued at approximately £193,485 annually, is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2026, with completion on 31st March 2027. Representations concerning this award can be made until 13th February 2026. The service location is specified within the South East of England, in the UKJ4 region, focusing on health services as the main industry category.

This tender creates opportunities for current service providers to demonstrate adherence to quality standards, improving service integration, and addressing health inequalities. The direct award to the incumbent provider, the Stroke Association, suggests strong performance and effective delivery in line with service specifications. Businesses with proven capabilities in health service delivery, those focusing on quality, value, and social value-oriented services, are well-suited for such contracts. Although this particular opportunity is not open to new competitors, understanding the criteria and standards expected can position interested parties favourably for future procurements.
