Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) procured specialist strategic support for its NICE 2029 strategy refresh. The requirement covers developing and supporting agreed delivery outputs through an iterative approach aligned with NICE’s programme phases, governance requirements and feedback cycles. This is a business development consultancy service, including strategic advice and support for implementing the refreshed strategy. The main procurement category is services, with the procurement classified under CPV 79411100. Delivery is associated with NICE’s premises at 3 Piccadilly Place, Manchester, and the wider United Kingdom. The work is for NICE itself, rather than a general health-sector consultancy framework.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. NICE awarded the contract to CARNALL FARRAR LTD on 14 July 2026. The awarded value is £97,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 9 July 2026 to 16 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 23 June 2026 at 5:00 pm. The requirement was evaluated as a completed procurement, with one supplier selected and no lots identified. The stated suitability assessment did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from NICE for specialist strategy consultancy that can turn a major organisational strategy refresh into agreed delivery outputs. A credible future supplier would need strong business development and strategic advisory capability, experience of working through phased programmes, and the ability to adapt recommendations through structured feedback cycles. Familiarity with governance-led environments and the discipline to produce outputs that can pass formal internal oversight would be important. The work suits an established consultancy able to provide senior strategic input while working iteratively with a public-sector client. The framework call-off route also shows that relevant suppliers may need access to an appropriate public procurement framework and a track record that supports selection through it.
