Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Practice Level Delivery Support Framework," focusing on the business and management consultancy services industry. The framework aims to explore delivery models for general practice level support under the Primary Care Access Recovery Plan. This project involves replacing the current framework and potentially setting up a national framework to be utilised by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). The procurement, with significant investments valued at 10 million GBP, is expected to commence with contracts having a duration from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028. The initiative does not require direct financial commitments from NHS England and is situated in London, UK, with future notices anticipated by 1st September 2025.

This procurement initiative presents robust opportunities for businesses specializing in business and management consultancy services, particularly those interested in contributing to healthcare solutions. The process is designed to support the evolving needs of primary healthcare delivery, which can serve as a pivotal platform for businesses to establish themselves within the healthcare sector. Companies with a strong track record in implementing large-scale frameworks and an ability to liaise with public sector entities like NHS England and ICBs are well-suited to compete in this tender. Such an opportunity can lead to substantial growth and increased visibility within the public sector marketplace.
