Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a national maternity workforce engagement programme. The appointed provider is responsible for designing and delivering the programme, analysing its findings, and reporting on the results. Its purpose is to support maternity services in identifying and prioritising improvement actions. This is a consultancy and research service, covering workforce engagement, programme design, analysis and reporting rather than the delivery of clinical care. The work is based in London and relates to maternity services across the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within research, development and related consultancy services and is classed as a service opportunity. NHS England is the buying organisation, based at Wellington House in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to BRAMBLE HUB LIMITED. The award value is £350,000. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. It was let as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender deadline at 12:00 on 24 July 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, and one supplier is recorded as receiving the award. The contract covers the full programme requirement: design, delivery, analysis and reporting for the national maternity workforce engagement work.

This award demonstrates NHS England’s demand for specialist organisations that can combine workforce engagement with structured programme delivery and evidence-based analysis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience designing engagement programmes at national or comparable scale, working with maternity services or closely related health and care stakeholders, and turning consultation findings into clearly prioritised improvement actions. Strong capability in qualitative or quantitative analysis, stakeholder facilitation, and concise reporting would be important, alongside the capacity to coordinate delivery across services and produce dependable outputs for a national NHS buyer. The requirement is suitable for an SME with the necessary specialist team, delivery management and public-sector consultancy experience.
