Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
Kent County Council is extending its existing Mental Health Assessment Service contract for 9 months, from August 1 to April 30, 2027. The service ensures statutory mental health and eligibility assessments under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are conducted timely. The extension is due to pending national consultation on Liberty Protection Safeguards and implications of a UK Supreme Court 2026 judgement. No new procurement is launched; the current provider continues.
