UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured safety assessment services for its requirements, described as “Safety Assessments” and linked to safety consultancy services (CPV 79417000). The work was purchased by the Trust, whose address is at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. Delivery is identified as taking place in the United Kingdom. The requirement was handled as a single service package, covering the Trust’s safety assessment need rather than a wider programme of goods, works or mixed services. This is relevant to consultancies that provide professional safety assessments, advice and related assurance services for NHS or other public-sector organisations, including firms able to operate across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Safehand Consulting Limited was selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 6 August 2026, with a value of £18,525 excluding VAT and £22,230 including VAT. The award covers the single safety assessment service package. The recorded outcome shows a completed purchase rather than an invitation for further bids. Evaluation was therefore carried out within a direct-award route, rather than through an open or selective tender competition.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for external safety assessment consultancy at a modest, below-threshold scale. It indicates that a small specialist consultancy can be selected to provide this type of service directly to Medway NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in safety assessments and consultancy, an understanding of the operational expectations of an NHS foundation trust, and the capacity to deliver a focused assignment efficiently. Suppliers should also be able to explain their relevant technical approach, professional experience and assurance arrangements clearly, while showing that they can work within public-sector purchasing constraints and provide services in the United Kingdom.
