Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant commissioned executive strategy and target operating model consultancy. The work covers diagnostics, developing an organisation-wide strategy and producing final recommendations for a target operating model. It is a general management consultancy service, intended to shape how the organisation operates across its business. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s Bristol base at Filton, with the location also identified as the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Teneo Financial Advisory Limited on 23 September 2026. The award value is £820,063. The contract period runs from 23 October 2026 to 22 April 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective route as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at noon. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract is for one organisation-wide assignment; no separate lots are described. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria.

For consultancies competing for similar NHS Blood and Transplant work in future, this award demonstrates demand for senior management advice that can connect organisational diagnostics with strategy development and a practical target operating model. Credible suppliers will need the capability to assess a complex organisation as a whole, turn findings into a clear strategic direction and provide recommendations on how the organisation should be structured and operated. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off makes experience delivering through framework arrangements commercially relevant. The award went to a large advisory firm, indicating that a supplier should be able to resource a substantial, focused assignment, while the stated SME suitability shows that smaller firms were considered eligible. Specific professional accreditations or named technical qualifications are not set out.
