## Summary

NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board is procuring a GP-led urgent treatment centre service in Kent and Medway. The provider is to deliver a fully integrated service combining minor illness and minor injury treatment. The contract description also allows diagnostics and/or other urgent treatment centre services in limited cases. This is healthcare service delivery rather than a supply of equipment or construction project. The work supports continuity of urgent and emergency care while the ICB progresses a clinically led review and develops its future urgent treatment centre and neighbourhood health model. The contracting information identifies the delivery region as Kent, but does not identify a specific centre or town for service delivery.

The procurement is at intention-to-award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; it is not yet formally awarded, despite the release containing an active award entry. NHS Kent and Medway ICB intends to select Herne Bay Health Care Ltd. The proposed contract is valued at £2,201,000, and was signed on 22 October 2026 according to the contract entry. The service is described as running for one year, ending 30 November 2027, with a six-month break clause and an option to extend by a further 12 months. The route is a PSR Direct Award C, without prior publication of a competition. The stated assessment basis is whether the existing provider is meeting the original contract and is likely to meet the proposed one to a sufficient standard; this is weighted at 100%.

For healthcare providers considering similar urgent care work for this ICB, the requirement demonstrates demand for an integrated, GP-led service that can manage both minor illness and minor injury. A credible provider would need the clinical workforce, operating arrangements and service integration to deliver these pathways together, and to maintain continuity while the commissioner reviews its wider urgent and emergency care model. The selected provider’s existing service performance was central to the stated assessment, so evidence of reliable delivery against the current contract would be important alongside the ability to meet the proposed service standard. Limited diagnostic or other urgent treatment centre services may also form part of the requirement. The arrangement is a focused local healthcare service rather than a broad health system contract.
