UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned qualitative interviews to support evaluation of its NHS Board Development Programme. The work is a health-related research and evaluation service: interviewing participants and gathering qualitative evidence to assess the programme. The buying organisation is NHS England. The process has one lot, covering the interview work as a single package. The procurement title indicates the focus is board development programmes, while the description specifies interviews for programme evaluation. The supplier is based in Bromley, but the data does not identify where interviews are to be conducted or the geographical coverage of the programme. The requirement is therefore most relevant to research and evaluation consultancies with experience conducting qualitative interviews in health or public-sector settings, particularly those able to work with NHS board development programmes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Work Psychology Hub Ltd. NHS England used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 14 October 2026. Its period runs from 14 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The contract value is £24,570 excluding VAT and £29,484 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot. The stated evaluation purpose was to support assessment of the NHS Board Development Programme through qualitative interviews; no scoring criteria or comparative evaluation basis is recorded. The award is for services, with health services as the associated classification. The contract is active, and the supplier is Work Psychology Hub Ltd.

For suppliers considering similar NHS England work, this award demonstrates demand for a focused qualitative interview service supporting evaluation of board development activity. A credible competitor would need to design and conduct structured qualitative interviews, engage appropriately with NHS or public-sector stakeholders, and produce evidence useful for evaluating a development programme. Relevant health-sector research and evaluation experience would help demonstrate that capability, alongside strong interviewing practice, clear analysis and reliable delivery across a defined piece of work. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that NHS England has awarded this requirement to a provider able to deliver the service as a standalone contract. The direct award route used here was below threshold and without competition; businesses should treat this as evidence of the buyer’s purchasing approach for this instance, not as an assurance that future work will use the same route.
