Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Test & Trace Programme Management contract, initiated by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), is categorised under business and management consultancy services, with a total value of £1,495,521. The procurement process involved a selective method, using a call-off from an existing framework agreement. Although the tender was published on 9 March 2021, it was later determined to be in error and its status is marked as cancelled. The original tender period ended on 27 August 2020.

This procurement process presents opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in programme management, especially those with experience in public health initiatives. Given the cancelled status of the tender, businesses looking to engage with the NHS should focus on establishing connections with DHSC or exploring potential future tenders related to the Test and Trace programme. Larger consulting firms with extensive resources may find suitable opportunities, as the previous engagement ruled out small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
