Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process involves NHS England as the buying organisation, with the title "Contract Extension & Variation" in the health services industry category. This procurement, located in London, UK, has reached the award stage, with the contract involving a value of £250,200. The procurement method classified as "Other" type oversaw the tender period ending on 31st January 2026, followed by a contract period beginning on 1st February 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027. NHS England's commercial team managed this process from their premises on Waterloo Road, London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing or supporting health services, particularly those capable of engaging in contract variations and extensions. Although this specific opportunity does not actively target small or VCSE organisations, it sets precedence for SMEs like Counterweight Limited, the awarded supplier, underlining the potential for similar-sized businesses to pursue and secure government contracts, thereby facilitating business growth and development in the health services sector. The collaboration with NHS England could lead to enhanced credibility and future opportunities within the public health system.
