Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the tender for a "10 Year Health Plan Engagement Exercise" aimed at informing a long-term health strategy. This market research exercise, classified under the CPV code 79310000, involved multiple consultations with public, NHS staff, leadership and other stakeholders. The contract, valued at £3,000,000 excluding VAT, began on September 13, 2024, and will end on March 31, 2025. The procurement employed a selective method via a dynamic purchasing system, evidencing DHSC's strategic approach to sourcing services.
