Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned services to implement Phase 2 of its Enabling Flexible Working through e-Rostering Programme. The requirement continues and operationalises services established in Phase 1, including the delivery approach, sequencing and applied learning developed during that earlier phase. In practical terms, this is an education and training services requirement focused on supporting flexible working through electronic rostering. The work is for NHS England, a central government public authority, and is associated with the organisation’s programme rather than a separately described local delivery site. The scope covers implementation activity and the application of learning from Phase 1, making it relevant to organisations that provide programme implementation, workforce-planning support, e-rostering-related training or structured organisational learning services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Timewise Foundation CIC. The award was made on 26 August 2026. Its value is £166,666.67 excluding VAT, or £200,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 May 2027, with signature scheduled for 10 September 2026. The selected service category is education and training. The published outcome identifies Timewise Foundation CIC as the successful supplier, and the award is recorded as active alongside a pending award record. There was a single lot, covering the full Phase 2 implementation requirement.

This award indicates demand from NHS England for a specialist provider able to deliver and operationalise a flexible-working and e-rostering programme, rather than simply supply software. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience in implementation services, workforce or rostering change, and education or training for the people expected to use or support the approach. The ability to turn an established delivery model into operational practice would be important, as would evidence of applying learning from an earlier programme phase. Suppliers should be able to manage sequencing, deliver structured training and support organisational adoption in a public-sector healthcare setting. Experience translating programme methods into practical, repeatable services would strengthen a competing offer when this requirement returns to market.
