Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a business case adviser for its NHP requirement. The work falls within project management consultancy and involves providing specialist advice to support the development, review or progression of a business case. It was delivered for the Trust in the East of England, associated with postcode area WD18 0HB. The requirement was awarded through lot 1 of the SBS10197 framework agreement. This is a professional consultancy engagement rather than the supply of physical goods, despite the procurement category being recorded as goods. Businesses with experience advising NHS trusts or other public bodies on business cases, major programmes and project management would recognise the core service required. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited on 13 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically lot 1 of SBS10197. The tender deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The estimated value range was £200,000 to £400,000, while the awarded value was £398,000. The contract period runs from 2 March 2026 to 1 March 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through the framework call-off process; the available procurement information identifies project management consultancy services as the classification. The Trust did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for substantial business-case advisory and project-management consultancy delivered through an established framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a strong track record of producing and assuring business cases, advising senior public-sector decision-makers, and translating complex programmes into clear financial, operational and delivery cases. Experience in NHS or comparable public-sector environments would help demonstrate understanding of governance, approvals, benefits realisation, risk and value for money. The scale of the appointed supplier indicates that the buyer may favour an organisation with the capacity to provide a sizeable specialist team, manage a defined advisory assignment and work within formal framework call-off procedures. Framework eligibility and evidence of comparable assignments would therefore be commercially important.
