Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

On 18th March 2026, the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board announced an update to the tender process for the East Sussex Memory Assessment Service, focusing on health services for dementia diagnostics and post-diagnostic support. This procurement process is classified under miscellaneous health services and falls within the 'services' category. This contract has been awarded using a Provider Selection Regime (PSR), and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, exempting it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The direct award commences on 1st October 2026 and spans 12 months, with an option to extend to 31st March 2028. The awarded service's annual value reaches £416,664, totalling £624,996 with the extension. Situated in East Sussex, the awarded process is directed by the Deputy Chief Delivery and Strategy Officer, ensuring the absence of conflicts of interest during the decision-making process.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in dementia care and diagnostics, to expand their footprint in East Sussex. The procurement process emphasised key considerations such as quality and innovation, value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social value, with relevant weightings assigned to each. Businesses that demonstrate strong performance in these areas could find significant opportunities for growth, particularly SME suppliers like Integrated Community Care, who are already involved. The service encourages collaboration across different sectors of health and social care, offering new contacts and enhancing community-based service delivery. This initiative can help businesses foster collaborations, improve service reach, and address urgent care needs within local communities.
