Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS England for the provision of pension support services for the 2025/26 period has been concluded. The awarded supplier, Circle Specialist Services Ltd, will deliver services including access to websites, 24/7 telephone/email support, virtual surgery days, workshops, and presentations. This contract, valued at £70,986.6, falls under the services category within the health services sector. It was procured via a direct method below the threshold, allowing for direct award without competition. NHS England, a central government authority located in London, initiated this procurement process, with the contract becoming active on 1st June 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in pension support and health services to establish themselves as key service providers within the public sector, particularly if they offer innovative and comprehensive support solutions. While the direct award method was utilised for this contract, similar opportunities could arise for businesses adept at providing essential health support services to government organisations such as NHS England. Large enterprises with a robust capability to manage extensive health service offerings and those with established infrastructures in health service delivery will find such tenders well-suited to their capacities.
