Summary of the contracting process

This contract, focusing on business and management consultancy services, was awarded to BearingPoint through a limited procurement method owing to specialised requirements. The contract, valued at £246,000, was signed on 12th June 2026. The initiative began in August 2025 and concluded by the end of November 2025, following a direct award from the NHS SBS Consultancy and Advisory Service, due to the timing restrictions. The targeted location for the delivery of services is the Cardiff region, categorised under the CPV code 79400000.

This procurement presents opportunities for entities specialising in health sector consultancy, particularly those with a proven track record of executing complex strategies within tight deadlines. Consultancies with experience in mental health and wellbeing frameworks, especially those that have previously engaged with public health bodies, will find this project aligns well with their core competencies. Businesses with strong capabilities in delivering strategic support and transformation services in the healthcare sector can utilise such opportunities to expand their portfolios in public health initiatives. The limited procurement method used and the direct award to a specialised supplier highlight the demand for niche expertise in this field.
