## Summary

The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed a public procurement process for the tender titled "Strategic Consultancy NIHP_Phase 1," classified under the industry category of design consultancy services. The tender was awarded to McKinsey & Company, Inc., with a total contract value of £300,000. This procurement employed a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 19th October 2020 and concluded on 30th November 2020, summarising the DHSC's aim to identify lessons for a transition team relevant to their design work. The procurement process concluded its tendering phase on 8th October 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms aiming to expand their business in health and social care sectors. With a focus on identifying key lessons to inform future design work, firms with experience in strategic consultancy, particularly those skilled in healthcare, policy analysis, and organisational development, would be well-placed to engage in similar procurements. The nature of the work could attract larger firms with the capacity to handle substantial contracts, as demonstrated by McKinsey & Company's successful bid.

## Notice

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking to secure a consultancy firm to identify the most pertinent and important lessons to inform the work of the transition team in the first stages of the design work. The consultancy companies are being provided with the key questions that we want them to address and consider, to bid against. Bidders are also invited to highlight specific areas of interest and relevance that they think would provide lessons and intelligence that can best inform the design work, which will be agreed as costed options and as part of the final commission.
