## Summary

NHS England South East is undertaking a procurement process to secure a provider capable of delivering Complex Disability Equipment - Prosthetic Specialised Services to individuals of all ages with limb loss. This initiative aims to enhance patients' mobility, independence, and quality of life through the provision of prostheses by a specialised multidisciplinary team. The service, set to commence in mid-late 2025, will cover Kent and Medway. NHS Kent & Medway Integrated Care Board has taken over the commissioning responsibilities from NHS England as of 1st April 2025. The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) with an open procedure. Key dates involve a contract award date on 4th June 2025, while the service commencement is anticipated in mid-late 2025. The initial contract term spans 60 months, with potential extensions of up to 48 additional months.

This procurement could create growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services and prosthetic devices. Enterprises with expertise in delivering healthcare services that centre around patient care and choice would be well-suited to compete. The competitive nature of the process encourages providers to showcase quality, innovation, and integration within healthcare services, emphasising collaboration and service sustainability. Businesses adept in improving access to care, reducing health inequalities, and enhancing social value in their offerings are encouraged to apply, as these are weighted significantly in the selection criteria. Given the substantial contract value and long-term potential, successful providers can expand their service offerings, gain credibility in the health sector, and foster strategic partnerships within NHS networks.
