## Summary

Kent County Council has concluded a procurement process aimed at evaluating the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, specifically the Live Well Kent and Medway programme. This evaluation focuses on its cost-effectiveness, impact on adult social care, and health inequalities across several regions in the United Kingdom, including Kent. This contract, under a limited procurement method, was awarded to the University of Kent. The process is at the award stage, having been recently completed on 28 January 2026, with the contract period running from 24 January 2026 to 30 September 2026. This procurement falls within the services category, particularly in research and development services.

This tender creates an interesting opportunity for businesses providing consultancy and evaluation services, particularly those specialising in research and development within the social care and health sectors. Such businesses, especially those with experience in public sector contracts, may find similar opportunities lucrative due to the focus on health economics and service evaluation. Companies with a track record in handling sub-central government projects and a presence in the specified UK regions could benefit substantially from participating in future procurement rounds conducted by Kent County Council.
