## Summary

The NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract for stroke services within the region of Dartford, Gravesham, and Swanley (DGS). The procurement process follows a limited method under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and has not included a prior call for competition due to the decision to continue with the existing provider. This process is at the award stage, with the official award notice marking the start of the standstill period, during which representations must be submitted by 13 February 2026. The proposed contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, valued at £53,890 annually. The NHS Kent and Medway ICB Executive Board will oversee the decision-making process for this award.

The tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health services sector, specifically those that can provide stroke-related health services. Companies with robust track records in delivering high-quality, innovative, and integrated health services would find it advantageous. The evaluation criteria emphasize quality, value, service sustainability, and social value, making this a suitable opportunity for businesses capable of delivering comprehensive and impactful health solutions in line with local healthcare priorities. Smaller enterprises with a focus on reducing health inequalities and enhancing service accessibility stand to benefit from this contract, aligned with the incumbent provider's current successful service delivery.
