Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured executive leadership and development support: a programme of dedicated, independent leadership and team development services for NHS England executives. The work is classified as general management consultancy and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the UK. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from the SBS Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health framework, indicating a focus on specialist consultancy and advisory provision for the health sector. The buying organisation is NHS England, based in London. The scope is centred on developing executive leadership capability and improving team performance, rather than supplying goods, construction or general operational services. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are management consultancies with experience supporting senior NHS or comparable public-sector leadership teams.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The selected supplier is VALUECIRCLE LLP (THE). The contract value is £240,000. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026. NHS England used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a call-off from the SBS framework. The procurement was therefore not an open tender; access was through the existing framework arrangement. The award was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The process record identifies one lot, described as an SBS framework call-off for consultancy and advisory services for health, and marks that lot as cancelled, while recording an active award and active contract against it.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement demonstrates a defined NHS England demand for executive leadership and team development delivered through a health-sector consultancy framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide independent advice and structured development support for NHS executives, with the capacity to work with leadership groups and teams across the UK. Relevant experience would include management consultancy, executive coaching or leadership development, organisational development, and demonstrable understanding of NHS governance and operating environments. Suppliers should also be able to meet framework call-off requirements and compete on price, since price was the stated award basis. The requirement suits an established consultancy able to deliver dedicated senior-level support rather than a general training provider.
