Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board is the buying organisation for this procurement process, which focuses on securing Level 2B neuro rehabilitation beds. Targeting the health services sector, specifically neurological rehabilitation, this procurement is set within the Suffolk region of the UK. The procurement process is in the award stage, having been completed under urgent circumstances necessitated by the closure of an existing provider.
The award, dated 19th December 2025, resulted from a limited procurement procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the need to quickly address the absence of neurological rehabilitation services. The services are to commence on 5th January 2026 and will initially run until 4th July 2026, with the option to extend to 4th January 2027 if needed. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health services industry, particularly those equipped to provide specialised neurological rehabilitation services.
With contracts awarded to Marbrook Limited and PJ Care Ltd, both with capacities to manage complex neurological cases, SMEs specialising in health and social care can potentially benefit from the procurement by positioning themselves as complementary service providers or by engaging in future similar opportunities. The awarded value of the contracts, exceeding one million GBP collectively, underscores the financial potential and strategic opportunity for service expansion to enhance patient care continuity in the Suffolk area.
