Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an independent external facilitator to review the Trust’s leadership and governance against the NHS well-led framework. The work is management consultancy, focused on providing objective and constructive challenge, deepening the organisation’s understanding of its leadership and governance, and identifying development actions and areas for targeted support to sustain future performance. The review also aims to secure value for money. The service was delivered for the Trust in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The Value Circle. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The award is active, and the contract is active and signed. It was signed on 14 September 2026, with a contract period running from 14 September to 16 December 2026. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The stated evaluation emphasis was an independent, constructive review of leadership and governance against the NHS well-led framework, identifying useful development actions and opportunities for targeted improvement while securing value for money.

This requirement is relevant to management consultancies with the expertise and independence to assess NHS leadership and governance against the well-led framework. A credible supplier would need to facilitate objective, constructive challenge, understand the NHS context, and translate findings into practical development actions and targeted support that can help sustain organisational performance. The procurement demonstrates demand for a focused review for a large acute hospital trust, rather than a broad, general consultancy assignment. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this work can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy as well as by larger firms. Suppliers able to demonstrate relevant framework knowledge, strong facilitation and analytical capability, and the capacity to complete a defined review for a major NHS organisation would be well placed when this buyer next requires similar work.
