Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care bought a four-week extension of analytical support for its priority programmes. The work is classified as personnel supply, including temporary staff, but the description identifies the requirement as analytical support; it does not set out specific programme areas, deliverables or staff disciplines. The buying organisation is the Department of Health and Social Care, and the delivery address is in London, at SW1H 0EU. This is a short-term continuation of existing programme support rather than a separately described long-term service. The requirement is relevant to suppliers able to provide analytical personnel and maintain continuity in supporting government priority programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to McKinsey & Company Inc United Kingdom. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the awarded value was £300,000. The contract period runs from 7 September to 5 October 2026. The stated requirement was an extension of analytical support for priority programmes, procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 6 September 2026 at 12:00. No lots are identified. The procurement is marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award record identifies the selected supplier and records an active award.

This award shows that the Department of Health and Social Care uses framework call-offs to extend analytical support for priority programmes, including short, time-limited continuations of existing work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply analytical personnel quickly and sustain continuity across government programme support. Experience working with the department or comparable public-sector priority programmes, and the capacity to mobilise and maintain a suitable team for a short extension, would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement best matched by providers able to deliver at established organisational scale.
