Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit has concluded the award stage of a procurement process titled "1966 CDIO Cost Reduction Support for NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands CSU." This process, procured via the Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) - Lot-4 Finance Framework, falls under the financial consultancy services industry category. Located in Derby, England, the project's contract period spans from 18th September 2025 to 17th January 2026. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with Accenture (UK) Limited being awarded the contract valued at £248,800 on 17th September 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for companies specialising in financial consultancy services to engage with public sector clients and showcase their capabilities in cost reduction strategies at a board level. Although the contract has been awarded to Accenture, it highlights the potential for consultancy firms with expertise in managing and optimising financial processes to explore future possibilities within similar frameworks. Such contracts are especially relevant for larger consulting firms, given the suitability indicators which suggest the engagement was not tailored for SMEs or VCSEs. This scenario underscores the importance of maintaining strategic relationships within public sector frameworks to enable competitive engagement in future opportunities.
