Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care commissioned services to support the development and delivery of pilot sites for the Nursing, Midwifery and Nursing Associate Public Health Practice Framework. The framework provides a common basis for describing, developing and demonstrating the public health contribution of nurses, midwives and nursing associates across settings, sectors and roles. The work is associated with the department in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the Florence Nightingale Foundation on 25 August 2026. The award value is £24,818. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The buyer used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the threshold. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Department of Health and Social Care, this award demonstrates demand for practical support to develop and deliver pilot sites for a nursing, midwifery and nursing associate public health framework. A credible competitor would need to understand how public health practice applies across nursing and midwifery roles, sectors and settings, and be able to turn a shared framework into supported pilot activity. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement was also considered suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was delivered as a focused service engagement rather than a large-scale programme.
