    Brief

    Kent County Council is seeking to extend its current Mental Health Assessment Service contract to ensure timely statutory mental health and eligibility assessments for individuals subject to Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). This service is critical to preventing delays in outcomes issued by the Supervisory Body. The Council is extending the existing contract for 9 months (1st August 2026 to 30th April 2027) while awaiting the outcome of the national Liberty Protection Safeguards consultation and clarity from the UK Supreme Court's 2026 judgement regarding deprivation of liberty definitions. Suppliers should be prepared to maintain continuity of current service delivery during this extension period. The Council will specify detailed requirements for future procurement once the national policy landscape is clarified.
