Summary of the contracting process

The Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust has finalised a procurement process for the provision of consultancy services focusing on leadership team coaching. This tender, classified under the general management consultancy services category, involves organisational development consultancy services aimed at supporting senior operational and clinical leaders within the Trust. The services are set to be delivered both face-to-face and virtually across Trust sites from April 2026 to March 2027, with a contract value of £40,400. The award was made to REBEKAH GIFFNEY CONSULTING LIMITED, a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME), on 4th June 2026, following a procurement process described as "Other".

This procurement presents significant business opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in leadership development and organisational development, especially those with experience in the healthcare sector.

Firms looking to partner with NHS trusts can leverage such contracts to establish or expand their presence in the public sector, enhancing their portfolio of successful collaborations with healthcare providers. Despite the current contract not specifying suitability for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), the successful tender was awarded to an SME, indicating viable prospects for small businesses in this market.
