Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust bought consultancy and advisory services for health. The work covers an SPC diagnostic review, an options appraisal and a strategic roadmap, within the general management consultancy services category (CPV 79411000). It is a services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom, for the Trust based in Brighton. The purpose is to assess the current SPC position, consider available options and set out a strategic direction. The requirement is therefore relevant to management consultancies with experience in health-sector diagnostics, strategic options analysis and roadmap development, rather than suppliers of clinical services, construction, products or routine administrative support. The buying organisation is the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The estimated procurement value was £94,600. Moorhouse Consulting Limited was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for £113,520. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as health-related management consultancy services and records the awarded supplier and value. The award value is higher than the original estimate, and should be considered separately from that estimate when assessing the scale of the engagement.

This award shows a defined demand from Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust for specialist consultancy supporting SPC diagnosis, options appraisal and strategic planning. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate strong management consultancy capability in health settings, with the analytical expertise to review an existing operating position, compare strategic options and turn findings into a practical roadmap. Experience advising NHS organisations or comparable public-sector health bodies would help establish relevance, particularly where recommendations must reflect operational, financial and service-delivery considerations. Suppliers should also be able to work through an applicable framework call-off route and deliver a focused advisory assignment for a single Trust, rather than relying on broad general consultancy credentials alone.
