## Summary

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust arranged elective planned care through an independent healthcare provider. The service covers surgical hospital services delivered to support patient choice and care within the NHS 18-week referral-to-treatment pathway. The Trust remains the prime provider under its arrangement with the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board and uses an independent sector partner to deliver the required care. The named provider is Spire Healthcare Limited, trading as Spire Alexandra Hospital. The activity is associated with Kent, with the supplier based in Walderslade. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply or construction contract, and is relevant to independent hospitals and other healthcare providers able to deliver planned surgical treatment within NHS pathways.

The procurement has reached completion: Spire Healthcare Limited trading as Spire Alexandra Hospital was awarded the contract, which was signed on 4 September 2026. The award relates to one service package and has an active contract value of £45,757. The contract covers April 2026 to March 2027, with an option to extend once for a further 12 months. It was awarded through Direct Process B under the Provider Selection Regime, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. Evaluation placed 100% weighting on patient choice and 0% on price. The arrangement has no guaranteed minimum activity, so its value varies with care delivered. The package is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This procurement indicates demand from Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust for independent-sector capacity supporting elective planned care and surgical hospital services. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitable hospital facilities, qualified clinical teams and the operational capacity to treat NHS patients within the 18-week referral-to-treatment pathway. The evaluation gives patient choice complete priority, so providers should be able to offer accessible treatment options and demonstrate a strong patient-centred pathway rather than compete mainly on price. Experience of working with NHS trusts, prime-provider arrangements and integrated care systems would be relevant. The existing provider status and activity-led value also indicate that dependable delivery, flexible capacity and the ability to scale services around patient demand are important commercial capabilities.

## Notice

Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust continues to act as the Prime Provider as contracted by the Integrated Care Board, Kent and Medway ("ICBKM"). In order to deliver Patient Choice as defined in the NHS Choice Framework and care within the 18 week RTT pathway the Head Provider will partner with the Independent Healthcare Sector.
