UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England recently concluded a procurement process related to the "PCN Test Site programme evaluation," focusing on health services within the UK. This contract addresses the need to gather quantitative data to understand better the demand and capacity gap in general practice. As part of the central government’s public authority, NHS England executed this under a limited procurement method, particularly suitable for projects below threshold with limited competition. The process's key milestones were the contract signing on 14th November 2025 and the project duration spanning from 17th November 2025 to 31st March 2026. This contract situates itself in London, under the industry category of Health Services, tagged with CPV code 85100000.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in providing evaluative and analytical services within the healthcare sector. With a gross value of £66,192, this project is particularly suited for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities to conduct comprehensive programme evaluations and data analysis in the health domain. For organisations like The Nuffield Trust, which successfully earned the contract, it represents a chance to contribute to systemic improvements in general practice. SMEs looking to expand into government contracts, particularly those with a focus on healthcare evaluation and consultancy, will find similar tenders to be an advantageous avenue for growth. Furthermore, organisations that can deliver innovative solutions to address healthcare demand can leverage such opportunities to establish themselves as valuable partners to central government initiatives.
