Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) commissioned consulting support for its Future of Safety programme. The requirement covers planning the next phase of implementation and support with the Programme Business Case. It is an IT consultancy services requirement, rather than a software or equipment purchase. The delivery location is given as the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The work is tied to the agency’s Future of Safety digital implementation programme and is intended to help shape its next phase and business case. This gives relevant consultancies a clear indication of the buyer, the programme context and the type of advisory work involved.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Deloitte LLP. The award was made on 19 October 2026, for £99,985, with the contract running from 19 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £99,985. The MHRA used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The response deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria or any specific supplier eligibility requirements. The procurement was classified as a service and marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For consultancies competing for similar MHRA work, this award shows demand for specialist programme-planning and business-case support linked to a digital safety implementation. A credible supplier would need to demonstrate the ability to turn a programme’s next phase into a practical implementation plan and to develop or support a Programme Business Case. Experience working with regulatory or public-sector organisations, and a clear understanding of digital implementation programmes, would be relevant to establishing that capability. The buyer used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework route and the capacity to deliver focused advisory support on a short engagement. The procurement’s stated unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that the requirement was positioned for larger suppliers.
