Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned consultancy services to improve income and contracting. The work is intended to translate agreed contract positions into operational delivery, manage key financial and contractual risks, and establish a sustainable working rhythm between contracting, finance and operations. This is a corporate finance and contracting improvement assignment, classified under corporate finance and venture capital services. Delivery is centred on Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust at Hucknall Road, Nottingham, with the requirement located in the East Midlands. The buyer is the NHS Trust, and the selected provider is Hunter Healthcare. The opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies that can support NHS income, contracting, financial risk management and operational implementation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hunter Healthcare on 13 July 2026. The award value is £49,500, and the contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. The requirement was handled as a selective procurement through a call-off from the ESPO 664_25 Consultancy Services framework, using a direct award route. The tender record gives a submission deadline of 19 July 2026 at 12:00, before the award was recorded. It is a single services requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The contract is not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated outcome focuses on delivery of agreed contract positions, active management of financial and contractual risks, and improved coordination between contracting, finance and operations.

For suppliers that did not win, this award signals a defined NHS requirement for specialist consultancy combining income improvement, contracting, finance and operational delivery. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show that it can convert contract decisions into practical delivery, identify and manage financial and contractual risks, and create effective working arrangements across contracting, finance and operations. Experience of working with NHS trusts or comparable complex public-sector organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of the operational and governance context, although the published requirement does not state specific qualifications or accreditations. The use of a consultancy framework and direct award route also indicates that framework access and the ability to respond to a focused call-off are commercially relevant.
