UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured Consultant Connect, a business and management consultancy service focused on triage for General. The requirement sits within the services category and involves supporting the Trust’s handling and triage of general enquiries or referrals. The buying organisation is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Cambridge. The awarded service is delivered in the United Kingdom. Consultant Connect Limited, an Oxford-based small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected to provide the service. This is a focused service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, so relevant businesses are those able to provide structured triage and associated consultancy support to an NHS foundation trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Consultant Connect Limited. The award date was 10 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. Its value is £48,550 excluding VAT, or £58,260 including VAT. The procurement was a below-threshold process, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot, covering the Consultant Connect triage service. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies business and management consultancy and related services as the classification for the awarded requirement. No separate award criteria or scoring basis is recorded in the procurement outcome.

For a supplier assessing future NHS opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for a defined triage service delivered through a specialist consultancy model. A credible competitor would need to show that it can receive, structure and triage general enquiries or referrals reliably, and provide a service that fits the operational needs of an NHS foundation trust. Relevant experience in business and management consultancy, healthcare-facing workflow support or comparable referral-management services would help demonstrate suitability. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national provider. Businesses should be able to evidence dependable service delivery, clear triage processes and the capacity to support the Trust throughout the contract period.
