Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Provision of Professional Services" by the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has concluded with the award stage. The buying organisation, based in Nottingham, aimed to procure general management consultancy services within the East Midlands. This contract, valued at £85,000, was directly awarded to Derbyshire Support & Facilities Limited, a subsidiary of Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, within a framework agreement context. The procurement, which falls under the category of services, was executed through a selective method. The contract execution period is set from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2027.

This tender represents considerable opportunities for businesses adept in general management consultancy, specifically those familiar with NHS processes and operations. While the procurement process was selectively managed through a framework agreement and concluded with a direct award, there remains potential for similar future engagements. Businesses within the East Midlands region, particularly SMEs well-versed in healthcare support and facility services, stand to benefit from networking with trusts such as the Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, thereby positioning themselves advantageously for upcoming opportunities.
