Summary of the contracting process

Community Health Partnerships Limited commissioned strategic planning and technical expertise to develop the next phase of the Productivity Acceleration in Community Estate (PACE) Plans application. The application supports the Productivity Acceleration in Community Estate Programme and provides a standard template for a concise plan for each LIFT asset. Plans are live documents, focused on increasing overall utilisation and optimising the use of each building. The service is classified as community health services. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Community Health Partnerships Limited, a public authority based in Manchester. The requirement was procured as a single lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly below the threshold without competition. One supplier was selected: Ashley Clough. The award was made on 25 March 2026 for £54,600 excluding VAT, or £65,520 including VAT. The contract was signed on 8 April 2026 and runs from 8 April 2026 to 7 April 2027. The award and contract are active. The procurement used a single lot, with the lot recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies services rather than goods or works, and the award is below the relevant threshold. The requirement was evaluated through a below-threshold, non-competitive direct procurement route. The contract title is Development of Productivity Acceleration in Community Estate (PACE) Plans Application.

This requirement indicates demand for practitioners who can combine strategic planning with technical expertise in community healthcare estates and digital application development. Relevant suppliers would need to understand how public-sector buildings and LIFT assets are used, identify opportunities to increase utilisation, and translate those findings into concise, practical plans. Experience producing live, updateable planning documents would be useful, as would the ability to create or enhance a standardised application that can be applied consistently across a geographically broad estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate clear strategic thinking, technical delivery capability, and an understanding of community health services and estate optimisation. The single-lot structure and SME suitability suggest the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large, multi-service contractor.
