Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust procured the QbTest ADHD Management System, an industry-specific software package used as a computer-based objective assessment tool for the clinical assessment and monitoring of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The requirement is for the system itself and its use in supporting healthcare professionals to assess and monitor patients. The buyer is a public NHS health organisation based in Ashford, Kent. The selected supplier, Qbtech Limited, is a London-based small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of ADHD assessment technology. The procurement is therefore relevant to software providers, clinical technology businesses and suppliers with experience supporting diagnostic or monitoring services in NHS healthcare settings.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is recorded as complete. It used a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The stated evaluation basis was price. Qbtech Limited was the selected supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £173,750 and the contract was signed on 3 September 2026; the award is dated 3 September 2026. The procurement included an option for the authority to extend the contract by a further one year. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The notice states that the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was expected to meet the proposed requirement sufficiently.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust for a specialist ADHD assessment and monitoring system, rather than general-purpose healthcare software. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven computer-based objective assessment tool designed for ADHD clinical assessment and ongoing monitoring. Relevant capability includes software development and support for clinical users, reliable handling of assessment data, and experience deploying technology within NHS or comparable healthcare environments. The award to Qbtech Limited, identified as an SME, indicates that a specialist supplier can meet the requirement without being a large technology group. Businesses with an established ADHD product, healthcare implementation experience and the capacity to provide dependable ongoing support would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
