Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured business continuity planning (BCP) solution implementation services. The requirement covers implementing a BCP solution and is classified under personnel supply services, indicating a service-led engagement involving the provision of suitable personnel. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, based at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square, Leicester. Delivery is in Leicester, United Kingdom. This is a healthcare-sector requirement focused on putting a BCP solution into operation for the Trust. Businesses relevant to this requirement are organisations providing implementation services, personnel supply, or both, with the ability to support an NHS trust in delivering a defined BCP solution.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 30 June 2026 to SMART CO CONSULTING LIMITED for £51,398.55 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender had a submission deadline of 30 June 2026 at 11:25. The procurement is for services and was assessed through the framework call-off route. The selected supplier is identified as an SME. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and no separate lots or additional award criteria are recorded.

This award provides a clear example of the Trust’s demand for short-term BCP solution implementation supported through a framework call-off. A competing supplier would need to be able to deliver implementation services in an NHS environment and provide personnel capable of carrying out the required work. Credibility would come from demonstrating a practical delivery team, relevant BCP implementation experience, and the ability to work within a framework-based purchasing route. The requirement is not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should consider whether they have the scale, governance and public-sector delivery arrangements expected for this type of NHS engagement. The successful supplier was an SME.
