UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an evaluation of the Black Maternity Matters (BMM) Programme, known in the procurement as the HIWE programme. The requirement is evaluation consultancy services, focused on assessing the BMM Programme rather than delivering the programme itself. The work is for the Trust and is associated with its procurement activity in Bath. The appointed supplier is Kaleidoscope Health & Care Community Interest Company, based in London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience of evaluating public health, maternity, healthcare or community programmes, particularly where the work involves assessing programme delivery, outcomes and impact for an NHS organisation. It is a single-service requirement rather than a supply, construction or facilities-management contract.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to Kaleidoscope Health & Care Community Interest Company. It used a below-threshold limited competition from a Preferred Supplier List, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 3 February 2027. Its value is £49,720 excluding VAT, or £59,964 including VAT. The contract is active. The awarded service is the evaluation of the Black Maternity Matters Programme. The published outcome identifies evaluation consultancy services as the relevant category. The procurement was managed by Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. The award was made through a restricted supplier route rather than an open competition.

This procurement shows a defined NHS requirement for external evaluation of a targeted maternity programme, delivered through a Preferred Supplier List and limited competition. Competitors preparing for similar work with Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust would need credible evaluation consultancy capability and an understanding of healthcare and community settings. Experience of assessing programme implementation, outcomes and impact would be directly relevant, as would the ability to work with an NHS client on a focused evaluation assignment. The selected supplier is a large community interest company, indicating that the requirement can suit an established specialist organisation with sufficient capacity to manage the evaluation and provide evidence-based findings. Suppliers seeking comparable work should consider whether they can access the relevant preferred-supplier route.
