Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust procured an independent evaluation partner for the PEACS programme. The requirement is a professional evaluation consultancy service, with the appointed organisation acting as an independent partner rather than delivering general operational support. The procurement description sought suitably qualified organisations or teams to carry out the programme evaluation. The buying organisation is South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bethlem Royal Hospital in Beckenham. Health Innovation Network was identified as the appointed supplier. The work falls within consultancy and evaluation services, including general management consultancy under the original classification and evaluation consultancy under the award classification. The requirement relates specifically to evaluating PEACS for this NHS foundation trust.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Six bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs and one from a voluntary, community or social enterprise. The tender deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 13 July 2026 at 16:00. One lot was evaluated on commercial price at 20%, social value at 10% and technical quality at 70%. The estimated value was £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. On 8 September 2026, the contract was awarded to Health Innovation Network for £79,943.54. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with signature scheduled by 28 September 2026.

This award shows that the buyer values an independent evaluation partner able to assess the PEACS programme through a structured consultancy service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable evaluation capability, relevant technical expertise and the capacity to provide an independent organisation or team for a multi-year NHS programme. Technical quality was the dominant evaluation consideration, so suppliers should be able to set out robust methods, experienced personnel and clear evidence of delivering evaluation work. The procurement also assessed commercial price and social value, indicating that future competitors should combine sound pricing with measurable wider benefits. The field included SME and voluntary-sector bidders, suggesting that suitably capable specialist organisations as well as larger consultancies can be relevant.
