Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "WHTHT - NHP Business Case Advisor" has been conducted by the West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on the project management consultancy services industry. This process, using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, has reached the award stage, with PA CONSULTING SERVICES LIMITED being the appointed supplier. This consultancy engagement, delivering services in the East of England, commenced on 2nd March 2026 and is set to conclude on 1st March 2027. The award was officially published on 16th July 2026 and has a value of £398,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale consultancy firms specialising in project management within the healthcare sector. Due to the nature of the work and the procurement method through an established framework, smaller enterprises, including SMEs and VCSEs, may find it challenging to compete. Businesses with a strong track record in providing strategic advisory services to healthcare institutions would be well-suited to engage in similar future procurement exercises. The collaborative nature of the project management consultancy required suggests an ideal fit for organisations experienced in managing substantial contracts within NHS frameworks.
