## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned organisational productivity interim support from a business consultancy. The work is intended to deliver essential improvements in medical productivity and referral-to-treatment (RTT) management. It is a professional consulting service rather than a supply of physical goods, despite the procurement being categorised as goods in the published classification. Delivery is centred on Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, with the stated delivery postcode LN2 5QY and the wider United Kingdom identified as the country of delivery. The procurement sits within business services and consulting, and is relevant to firms providing healthcare productivity improvement, operational transformation, pathway management and interim advisory support to NHS organisations. The buyer is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, a teaching hospital trust serving its own clinical and operational environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Trust used a selective call-off from the CCS MCF4 framework agreement. Ernst & Young LLP was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026 for GBP 810,000. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026, with the underlying requirement describing one optional three-month extension. The tender’s stated estimated value range was GBP 404,000 to GBP 810,000. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award was active when recorded, and the contract period began before the award date. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covers consultancy supporting medical productivity and RTT management improvements through the framework call-off route.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for short-term, senior healthcare productivity consultancy focused on measurable operational improvement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practitioners who understand NHS medical productivity, referral-to-treatment pathways and the operational causes of delays, with the ability to work alongside clinical and management teams. It would need to provide interim capacity quickly, translate diagnosis into practical improvement activity and support delivery rather than only produce recommendations. Experience of working with NHS trusts and evidence of improving productivity or RTT performance would strengthen a bid. Suppliers should also understand how to access and compete through the relevant CCS framework route, and be able to resource a concentrated engagement with a hospital trust.
