Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist management consultancy support from a turnaround director. The role is intended to support the Trust’s turnaround work and is being delivered in conjunction with NHS England, with the stated aim of meeting objectives agreed with the regulator. The requirement is based on experience of similar assignments within other NHS organisations. This is a professional services requirement for a senior healthcare turnaround and management consultancy specialist. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary. The service category is general management consultancy services (CPV 79411000), focused on providing an experienced individual rather than a broader programme of goods, construction or operational services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was awarded to I&E PROFESSIONALS LTD, an SME, through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the turnaround director role. The published requirement states that the selected support is being provided in conjunction with NHS England and is intended to achieve agreed aims for the Trust. The award is active and the contract is active, so this opportunity records an established appointment rather than an unawarded tender.

For suppliers assessing future NHS turnaround requirements, this procurement shows demand for senior interim leadership and management consultancy that can support a provider under regulatory oversight. A credible competitor would need a turnaround director with demonstrable experience of comparable assignments in NHS organisations, the ability to work effectively with an NHS trust and NHS England, and the judgement to deliver objectives agreed with the regulator. Relevant capability includes diagnosing organisational or financial problems, setting and implementing recovery actions, managing senior stakeholders and reporting progress against agreed aims. The award to an SME indicates that a specialist consultancy can satisfy this type of requirement without being a large national provider, provided it can evidence suitable NHS delivery experience and provide an appropriately experienced individual.
