## Summary

On 16th March 2026, NHS Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board updated their tender for "Voluntary Sector Stroke and Neuro Community Support Services," which falls under the rehabilitation services category.

The contract is valued at approximately £567,890 over two years, expected to start on 1st April 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in rehabilitation services to expand their offerings and establish a foothold in the UK healthcare market. The procurement seeks innovation, quality, and value, prioritising integration and reducing health inequalities.
