Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a programme support officer for the chair of the 2025/NCA spinal independent patient safety investigation. The work is health-related programme support for an independent investigation, rather than the provision of clinical treatment. Delivery is associated with London, at NHS England’s Wellington House address. The requirement concerns supporting the investigation chair; the procurement does not describe a wider package of investigation services or clinical work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Niche Healthcare and Consulting, an SME. The award was made on 1 December 2025, with a contract period from 1 December 2025 to 31 August 2026. The awarded value is £33,843. The estimated procurement range was £33,843 to £40,611. NHS England used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 November 2025. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or separate lots.

For suppliers considering similar work for NHS England, this award demonstrates demand for programme support dedicated to the chair of an independent patient safety investigation. A credible competitor would need to provide programme officer capacity suited to supporting an investigation chair and working in a health-service context. The requirement was sufficiently focused for an SME supplier and was procured through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to deliver a defined support role would be commercially pertinent. The published requirement does not identify specific professional accreditations or technical qualifications; the clearest fit is experience and capacity for investigation-related programme support, rather than clinical service delivery.
