Tender for a contract

We are required to comply with certain rules and regulations that govern public sector procurement. This means that our services must be commissioned in a way that ensures value for money and that any tendering activity is conducted in a fair, open and transparent manner with equal treatment and opportunity given to all providers interested in tendering for our social care contracts. 

We are required to advertise and publish all our tendering opportunities online. In Kent this is done through the Kent Business Portal which holds information on tendering and funding opportunities across Kent.

We require that all our social care providers register with the Kent Business Portal to access our latest tendering opportunities. 

If you need assistance registering with the portal you can contact the Strategic Sourcing and Procurement team on 01622 696103 or email procurement@kent.gov.uk
