## Summary

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured a subscription service providing membership of Health Service Journal (HSJ), the news and research service for healthcare leaders in the NHS. The service covers publicly funded healthcare across health policy, acute and primary care, specialist services, mental health, commissioning and service provision. It provides news, analysis, best-practice information and advice for NHS leadership and management. The requirement is classified as a subscription service. Delivery covers Kent and Medway in England, including the areas represented by the Maidstone-based trust. This is a service contract rather than a works or physical goods opportunity, and is relevant to publishers, professional information providers and organisations supplying specialist healthcare intelligence to NHS bodies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. HSJ Information Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single completed lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 26 March 2025, with a contract period from 26 March 2025 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £11,033 excluding VAT, or £13,239.60 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The recorded award concerns HSJ membership and subscription services for Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust. The contract remains active within the stated period, following the completed procurement and supplier selection.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS mental health trust for a specialist healthcare information subscription serving healthcare leaders. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to provide authoritative, regularly updated news and research on publicly funded healthcare, with coverage broad enough to include policy, acute and primary care, specialist services, mental health, commissioning and provision. Credibility would depend on the quality and relevance of analysis, best-practice information and practical advice for NHS decision-makers, rather than on general media publishing alone. Established healthcare publishers, research providers and information businesses with a recognised NHS audience are best placed to compete. The requirement also indicates that a supplier must support organisational membership or subscription access for NHS users across Kent and Medway.
