UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured communication and engagement advisory services. The work supports a significant organisational change programme with a material impact on the Trust’s staff. It sits within the business services category, covering communications, marketing, consulting and related advisory activity. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The requirement is therefore suited to consultancies and advisory practices able to help a large healthcare organisation plan and deliver internal communications and staff engagement around complex organisational change. The service concerns organisational communication and engagement rather than clinical provision, construction, equipment supply or routine facilities management.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One award was made to Mobas Limited, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026, starts on 6 July 2026 and ends on 5 May 2027. Its value is £57,000 excluding VAT, or £68,400 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contracting authority is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The process covered one completed lot for communication and engagement advisory services, with Mobas Limited identified as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist communications and engagement support during substantial organisational change affecting staff. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need credible expertise in organisational change communications, employee engagement, stakeholder communications and advisory support. Experience of communicating sensitive, complex or high-impact change in a large public-sector or healthcare setting would strengthen their position. A suitable competitor would also need the capacity to work alongside senior leaders and internal teams, translate change into clear messages for staff, and support engagement throughout a defined programme. The award to an SME shows that this scale of advisory requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multinational firm.
