Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, completed by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, sought consultancy support under the title "Contracts & Activity Consultancy Support," within the general management consultancy services category. Located in the East Midlands, UK, this process was a direct award through the ESPO framework agreement, with a tender value of £49,500 GBP. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the contract period from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the award status declared active on 9th December 2025. The tender was tailored to the requirements of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), specifically those with expertise in management consultancy, as it supports high-level negotiations involving the Trust's CEO and CFO.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, especially those offering specialised consultancy services, to engage with a prominent NHS Trust. These businesses can leverage the procurement to showcase their expertise in identifying income risks and supporting strategic negotiations. By providing structured, evidence-based advice to senior healthcare management, participating organisations can enhance their reputation in the healthcare consultancy sector, potentially leading to future engagements with other public sector clients. The scope and focus on management consultancy offer a fertile ground for companies capable of delivering proficient analytical and advisory services catered to complex organisational needs.
