Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group required a provider for the national NHS Staff Survey and NHS Bank Staff Survey across its two hospital trusts: Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. The requirement covers survey services, including delivery of the national staff and bank staff surveys for both organisations. The work is delivered across the UHN NHS Group, with locations at Kettering General Hospital and Northampton General Hospital. The buying organisation is Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, working with Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. This is a healthcare workforce research and survey service rather than a general market-research requirement, so relevant suppliers need experience delivering staff surveys for NHS or comparable healthcare organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Quality Health Limited. It used a limited procedure with an award without prior publication of a competition notice, through the G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The award was evaluated on price. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £72,063. The agreement allows a maximum contract duration of 36 months, with an optional extension of up to 12 months. One bid was recorded. The contracting authority was Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, for the UHN group requirement involving both Kettering and Northampton General Hospital trusts. The procurement was below the applicable PCR 2015 threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a specialist provider able to deliver both the national NHS Staff Survey and the NHS Bank Staff Survey across more than one hospital trust. Competitors would need the operational capability to coordinate surveys across a hospital group, manage different staff populations, and deliver reliable survey services in line with the national NHS survey requirements. Experience working with NHS organisations, healthcare workforces and public-sector survey programmes would make a supplier credible. The requirement also shows that the buyer used the G-Cloud 14 framework and a price-based evaluation, so suppliers targeting similar work should understand framework procurement and present a clear, competitive pricing model alongside evidence that they can manage multi-site delivery.
