Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned services to implement Phase 2 of its Enabling Flexible Working through e-Rostering Programme. The work continues and operationalises services established in Phase 1, including the delivery approach, sequencing and applied learning developed during that phase. It is a professional services requirement centred on education and training, supporting the use of electronic rostering to enable more flexible working. The buyer is NHS England, a central government public authority, and the work is associated with the organisation’s London base. The procurement was arranged as a single service lot. It will suit organisations that can combine programme implementation with workforce, flexible-working and e-rostering expertise, and can turn previous learning into an operational delivery approach for NHS settings.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. NHS England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Timewise Foundation CIC was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 26 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 17 September 2026. The contract is active and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 May 2027. Its value is £166,666.67 excluding VAT, or £200,000 including VAT. The award and contract cover education and training services for the Phase 2 implementation. The published outcome records one supplier and one contract; no competitive evaluation basis or bid deadline applies to this direct award.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of NHS England’s demand for practical support to implement flexible working through e-rostering. Competitors seeking comparable work would need credible capability in programme implementation rather than standalone training: they would need to establish delivery approaches, sequence activity, apply learning from an earlier phase and operationalise services in an NHS environment. Relevant experience should include workforce change, flexible-working models, electronic rostering and education or training delivery. A strong supplier would be able to translate specialist knowledge into an organised implementation programme, work with NHS stakeholders and support adoption in practice. The award also shows that this requirement was pursued as a below-threshold direct award, so understanding NHS England’s needs and demonstrating relevant prior delivery would be important when comparable requirements are considered.
