If they are able to do this in an effective way, this in turn adds value by supporting the system and improve whole system efficiency around the use of resources. Funds will need to be utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective service.\nThe Social Value criterion recognises the potential impact of services and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community.

The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by Midnight (11:59pm) on the 23rd June 2026. \nThis contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nWritten representations should be sent to Stuart Meredith at the following email address: stuart.meredith1@nhs.net.\nNo conflicts of interest were identified. Decision maker: Deputy Chief Integration & Primary Care Officer and Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Surrey & Sussex.\nEvaluation Key Criteria\nThe service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria.\nThe key criteria were weighted as follows:\n• Quality and innovation 25%\n• Value 15%\n• Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability 25%\n• Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 25%\n• Social Value 10%\nQuality & Innovation, Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability and Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice were weighted equally as they are of equal importance in assessing the service.\nThe Value criterion is significant in that providers will need to ensure that they are able to utilise funding to maximise benefits to wheelchair users, ensuring they meet individualised needs and preferences. If they are able to do this in an effective way, this in turn adds value by supporting the system and improve whole system efficiency around the use of resources. Funds will need to be utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective service.\nThe Social Value criterion recognises the potential impact of services and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community. Although this hasn't been weighted as heavily, it is important that providers are able to evidence their commitment to these areas, such as paying workers living wage, as well as reducing consumption and waste.", "awards": [ { "id": "054732-2026-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "status": "active", "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-02808028", "name": "AJ Mobility Ltd (Trading as AJM Healthcare)" } ] } ], "contracts": [ { "id": "054732-2026-1", "awardID": "054732-2026-1", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 59053806, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2026-06-09T00:00:00+01:00" } ], "bids": { "statistics": [ { "id": "1", "measure": "bids", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 4 } ] } }, "versionedRelease": { "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-058907", "initiationType": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "tender" } ], "tender": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "C379523" }, { "releaseID": "008282-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-01-30T07:54:42Z", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "C401025" } ], "legalBasis": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "32014L0024" } ], "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "CELEX" } ] }, "title": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Sussex Wheelchair and Specialist Seating Service" }, { "releaseID": "008282-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-01-30T07:54:42Z", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Wheelchair and Specialist Seating Service - C401025 - ITT" }, { "releaseID": "054732-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-06-10T13:19:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "award", "contract" ], "value": "Wheelchair and Specialist Seating Service - C401025 - CAN" } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "planned" }, { "releaseID": "008282-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-01-30T07:54:42Z", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "active" }, { "releaseID": "054732-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-06-10T13:19:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "award", "contract" ], "value": "complete" } ], "classification": { "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "CPV" } ], "id": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "85100000" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Health services" } ] }, "mainProcurementCategory": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "services" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "049182-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-08-15T14:43:14+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking the views of Healthcare Providers in relation to the provision of Sussex Wheelchair Service and East Sussex Specialist Postural Static Seating Service to a population of patients under an NHS standard contract.

The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice.

Decision maker: Deputy Chief Integration & Primary Care Officer and Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Surrey & Sussex.\nEvaluation Key Criteria\nThe service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria.\nThe key criteria were weighted as follows:\n• Quality and innovation 25%\n• Value 15%\n• Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability 25%\n• Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 25%\n• Social Value 10%\nQuality & Innovation, Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability and Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice were weighted equally as they are of equal importance in assessing the service.\nThe Value criterion is significant in that providers will need to ensure that they are able to utilise funding to maximise benefits to wheelchair users, ensuring they meet individualised needs and preferences. If they are able to do this in an effective way, this in turn adds value by supporting the system and improve whole system efficiency around the use of resources. Funds will need to be utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective service.\nThe Social Value criterion recognises the potential impact of services and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community.
