Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) commissioned human resources management consultancy services to create a bespoke People Strategy for 2026–2029. The work supports HSE’s aim to be a great place to work and attract and retain exceptional people, organised around attracting, developing and retaining staff. The required scope included analysing data and other information, running engagement sessions with key stakeholders, preparing a draft strategy for discussion and engagement, and producing the final strategy document with a one-year action plan. Delivery covered HSE operations in England, Scotland and Wales. This is a services requirement for a consultancy with experience in organisational people strategy, workforce analysis and stakeholder engagement across a UK-wide organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Nous Group Ltd on 20 January 2026. The awarded value was £38,400 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 21 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. Suppliers were selected through a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 January 2026 at 15:00 UTC. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covered the full requirement for the HSE People Strategy, including the analysis, engagement, drafting, final strategy and action plan. The published outcome records an active award to the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined HSE demand for specialist advice that turns workforce evidence and stakeholder input into a practical, multi-year people strategy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine human resources strategy consultancy with robust data analysis, structured consultation and facilitation of engagement sessions involving senior and wider stakeholder groups. It would also need to produce clear strategy documentation and translate recommendations into an actionable first-year delivery plan. The work spans England, Scotland and Wales, so relevant UK-wide delivery capability, strong project management and the capacity to coordinate engagement across locations would be important. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to focused people-strategy consultancies as well as larger firms.
