## Summary

The Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), represented by NHS Commercial Solutions, have completed a procurement process for communication consultancy support as part of the Kent and Medway Sustainability and Transformation Programme. The contract was awarded to Hood and Woolf Ltd, with a value of £184,280. The consultancy service, initiated through an open procurement method, commenced on 1 August 2018 and will conclude on 31 December 2018, with a potential extension to 31 March 2019. The procurement was primarily focused on health services within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents a scope for business growth, particularly for communication consultancy firms qualified to support health service transformations. Companies with expertise in public health communication, stakeholder engagement, and strategic messaging would find themselves well-positioned to compete, especially those considering collaboration with statutory and voluntary sectors for comprehensive service delivery. The project promotes innovation and community-driven care solutions, aligning with businesses that prioritise social impact and public engagement in their operations.
