Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a workforce controls support package, focused on management consultancy services. The requirement was Workforce Controls Support Package 2, intended to support the Trust’s workforce control activities. Delivery was based at the Trust’s Hucknall Road site in Nottingham, within the East Midlands. The procurement was for services rather than goods or construction works, and its classification was general management consultancy services (CPV 79411000). The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, an NHS Trust serving the Nottingham area. The selected supplier was a large consultancy business, indicating that the requirement was delivered through specialist advisory capability rather than the supply of physical products.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 December 2025 to PA Consulting Services Limited. The award value was £49,999.99. The estimated procurement value was £49,999, with a stated minimum value of £49,999.99. The contract ran from 8 December 2025 to 5 January 2026. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4), rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 7 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The award was active, and the contract period began before the award date. The evaluation basis was the procurement requirements for this workforce controls support package.

This award is relevant to consultancies providing workforce controls advice and general management consultancy to NHS organisations. A credible future competitor would need to understand workforce control challenges in a hospital or wider healthcare setting, translate operational requirements into practical management advice, and deliver focused support within a short engagement. Experience of working with public sector or NHS clients would help demonstrate familiarity with governance, accountability and complex stakeholder environments, although those specific credentials are not stated as mandatory here. Suppliers should also consider access to the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four, since the Trust used a framework call-off route. The award shows that this buyer used a specialist consultancy for a defined workforce-controls assignment at SME-compatible scale.
