Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for an "Innovation Consultancy - Interim Resource Requirement" under the CPC industry category of business and management consultancy services. This selective procurement was executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £996,000 GBP, was awarded to Bramble Hub on 21 May 2025, with the contract period spanning from 27 May 2025 to 27 November 2025. This procurement process, centred around the Trust’s location at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in Cambridge, England, aimed to enhance their capacity to implement new innovation initiatives, thereby transitioning into an award stage from the previous tender period which concluded on 28 February 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy services, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing innovation-oriented solutions. The contract being awarded to a large company like Bramble Hub indicates the potential scale and impact opportunities available through this engagement. Businesses with capabilities in delivering value-driven consultancy services that assist in driving innovation within healthcare settings would find this type of procurement beneficial for growth and expansion, not only within the UK but potentially extending their services across Europe and other international locations within the tender's scope.
