Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), located in London, United Kingdom, has initiated an awarded procurement process titled "DHSC: FGO: Contingent Labour SB". This process falls under the industry category of Business and Management Consultancy Services (CPV code 79410000) and is focused on supporting the continued adoption and development of the health commercial system, Atamis, along with its successor, the Future Health Commercial System (FHCS). The procurement method used is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 1st May 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th November 2025. The awarding of the contract, valued at £49,477 GBP, was made to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD on 6th June 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy to contribute to the development of the nationwide health commercial system used by 319 health family organisations. Companies with expertise in spend analytics, financial and cyber supplier risk management, and asset register development specifically in healthcare settings will find this tender particularly appealing. There is potential for further business growth through the enhancement of income contract records and improvements to framework management within Atamis, alongside the development of e-auction functionality. Although the project does not explicitly favour SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale consultancy firms possessing the requisite professional service resources and knowledge will be well-placed to engage with and benefit from this contract, advancing their influence and capabilities in government-led health initiatives.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DHSC: FGO: Contingent Labour SB

Notice Description

The current health commercial system Atamis (and its replacement the Future Health Commercial System - FHCS) is a national system in operation across 319 health family organisations. This system provides an end-to-end commercial solution covering - amongst other areas - pipeline, tender management, contract management and supplier risk management. There is a critical need for specific expertise to support: - The continued adoption and development of the system and ensure changes are appropriately implemented - The re-procurement of the FHCS including business case development and specification drafting This seven-month extension is sought to cover the need to complete work on the FHCS business case (including liaison with the Cabinet Office) and support the delivery of development initiatives for Atamis. Over the next seven months these include: * the implementation of spend analytics for DHSC and its ALBs within Atamis; * the development of financial and cyber supplier risk management tools and processes across the health system; * the enhancement of income contract records, * the potential development of an asset register for collating and commercialising intellectual property across the NHS, * improvements to the management of frameworks within Atamis; and * the development of e-auction functionality. The knowledge and expertise of the professional service resource are essential in dealing with queries arising from the adoption and scoping the outlined changes to the health commercial system. Their experience will enable improvements, which are all intended to be in place or substantially developed by December 2025, to be agreed and implemented faster and cheaper and without us relying primarily on the supplier. Without this resource supporting the development of these would be delayed (likely by 12 months) and the cost of development would significantly increase.
