Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a digital maturity assessment service, classified as software consultancy services. The work is intended to assess digital maturity rather than deliver a specified software product, and falls within the wider services category. Delivery is in London, at or associated with NHS England’s Wellington House site on Waterloo Road, with the wider delivery location stated as the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that assess organisational digital capability, maturity and readiness, particularly in a healthcare or public-sector setting. It concerns advisory and assessment work, so suppliers focused solely on software development, hardware supply or construction are unlikely to be aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. NHS England awarded the contract to McKinsey & Company Inc United Kingdom on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £750,000. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The procurement was treated as a services contract, with the requirement assessed through the framework call-off route. The award information identifies the supplier and contract value, while the recorded tender details provide the overall procurement value of £750,000.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS England for specialist digital maturity assessment and software consultancy capability. A credible future supplier would need to evaluate digital capability in a structured way, translate findings into practical organisational insight and work effectively with a major public-sector health body. Experience of complex, large-scale organisations would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to provide a substantial consultancy team and manage delivery across a national healthcare context. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so competitors should expect the scale, resources and established consultancy capability associated with a larger provider. Suppliers with only technical implementation or product-delivery experience may be less well matched.
