Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board has published an intention to award notice for the procurement of Adult Community Services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. This procurement process, classified within the health services industry category, is specifically tailored to service provisions within the Kent and Medway locality. The notice, which is part of a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition, relates to services set to begin from 27 October 2025 and conclude on 26 October 2026. The standstill period was initiated on 15 April 2026, giving parties an opportunity to submit any written representations concerning the award. The intended contract will be awarded to Medway Community Healthcare, the current provider, as they have been found to meet the specific requirements and continue to satisfy the conditions of service delivery for this sector.

The contract, valued at £25,114,687, represents a significant opportunity for providers in the healthcare industry aiming to expand their service base within the region. Businesses that deliver efficient and comprehensive health services with proven capabilities might find potential growth in collaborations or sub-contracting arrangements under this award. Given Medway Community Healthcare's status as an SME, other small to medium enterprises may be well-suited to foster partnerships or leverage service niche offerings to complement the existing provider's framework. However, businesses seeking growth should be mindful that this procurement's direct award nature signifies limited competitive openings, focusing on specialty compliance and service fulfilment rather than open tender opportunities.
