UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust commissioned GP services to support former Integrated Care Board team members who transferred to the Trust under TUPE. The work is described as payment for GP services, with the services invoiced over the stated service period. It is classified as financial consultancy, although the description centres on GP service payments rather than detailing clinical care or a broader consultancy assignment. The named buyer is Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust. The delivery location is recorded only as being in the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. The requirement is a single lot and concerns support for the transferred team; it is not described as a general practice contract for a wider patient population.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Highparks Medical Practice. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £11,117 excluding VAT and £13,340.40 including VAT. The process had one lot, and the award is active. The available award details classify the service as financial consultancy, while the description identifies GP services supporting staff transferred from a former Integrated Care Board. No award criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement details, and there is no competitive evaluation basis to report because the award was made without competition.

This award shows that Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust has purchased a small, defined package of GP services to support former Integrated Care Board team members transferred to the Trust. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement in future would need to demonstrate the ability to provide GP services suited to supporting a transferred workforce, and to handle the associated service arrangements and invoicing. The selected provider is a medical practice, indicating that a practice with relevant primary care capability is a credible type of supplier for this need. The award was made directly without competition, so the procurement gives no evidence of a competitive scoring model or specified accreditations, capacity thresholds or experience tests. It is a focused staff-support requirement, rather than a broad clinical services contract.
