Summary of the contracting process

Kent Fire and Rescue Service commissioned a three-year BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation for a member of its health and wellbeing team. The degree is to align with the professional framework of the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT). Canterbury Christ Church University was selected to provide the education and training. This is a specialist higher-education requirement focused on developing sports rehabilitation capability within the fire and rescue service’s health and wellbeing team.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Kent Fire and Rescue Service awarded the work to Canterbury Christ Church University through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £35,244. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The stated scope identifies a BASRaT-aligned BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation degree; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For this buyer, the requirement demonstrates demand for specialist higher education that supports staff health and wellbeing through sports therapy and rehabilitation training. A provider seeking to meet a similar requirement would need to deliver the relevant degree-level education and align its course with the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers professional framework. Canterbury Christ Church University was the selected provider. The route used here was a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not demonstrate competitive evaluation criteria or comparative supplier capabilities.
