## Summary

East Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Therapy Provision to Summerdown School," within the health services industry category. This contract, valued at approximately £460,852, was awarded to Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, a large-scale organisation. The procurement involved a direct award waiver method. Initially set for a period commencing on 4 September 2023 and originally ending on 1 August 2025, the contract was extended due to unforeseen additional funding, now terminating on 3 September 2026. The services are to be conducted in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This extended contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating at a large scale within the health services domain. Organisations specialising in therapeutic services for educational settings might find significant growth potential in similar direct award procurements, especially if they can demonstrate flexibility and the capability to incorporate sudden funding modifications. The direct award method indicates a preference for familiar and reliable suppliers, suggesting that businesses with a strong reputation and existing partnerships in public health services would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts.

## Notice

This contract has been awarded. The contract has subsequently been extended by 12 Months from 4 September 2025 to 3 September 2026, as implicitly allowable in the contract. Original contract term = 24 months in total. The need for modification has been brought about by circumstances that a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen: The council could not have foreseen that additional funding would be granted in order for services under the pilot project to be continued. Updated contract value after extension: PS460852.00
