Summary of the contracting process

The Kent Fire and Rescue Service, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the Psychological Wellbeing Service. The contract, awarded to HG Mindworks Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Gloucestershire, supports the wellbeing of Kent Fire and Rescue Service staff through enhanced psychological support services. The procurement was classified under health services and conducted using a limited competition method, below the PA23 Services Threshold. Key dates include the tender opening on 21st January 2026 and the deadline for submissions on 20th February 2026, with the contract period spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029 and potential extension until 31st March 2030.

This tender provides an avenue for businesses within the psychological and health services industry to offer valuable support to public sector organisations focusing on employee wellbeing. With a contract value of £120,000, suppliers skilled in mental health provisions, particularly those who can enhance existing counselling and psychotherapy services, have the opportunity to expand their market presence. Large-scale providers, especially those experienced in tailoring health services to organisational needs, would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements with Kent Fire and Rescue Service and other public authorities.
