    Brief

    Kent County Council (KCC) is seeking expressions of interest for a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) Mental Health Assessment Service. This is a preliminary market engagement opportunity; a formal tender is anticipated to launch in November 2026, though KCC does not guarantee this timeline. The successful supplier will work in partnership with Kent DoLS Service to arrange and deliver mental health assessments required under DoLS legislation. All assessments must be conducted by Section 12 doctors who are full members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and/or registered on the GMC Specialist Register in psychiatry. Where applicable, assessors will provide recommendations under the Mental Capacity Act. The service is anticipated to commence on 1 May 2027 and will operate under an initial 2-year contract with an optional extension of up to 2 years. Interested suppliers should note that formal procurement details will follow upon tender launch.
