## Summary

NHS England has awarded the contract for the NHS Rainbow Badge Phase II project to LGBT Foundation Ltd. The procurement involved project management consultancy services and had a total value of £219,023.04. The tender was conducted using an open procedure above threshold, with a tender period ending on 16th August 2021 and a contract period starting on 15th September 2021 and ending on 31st March 2022. The procurement aimed to scale and spread the pilot model of the Rainbow Badge scheme to enhance LGBT awareness and inclusion within NHS organisations.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing project management consultancy services to engage with NHS England through the Rainbow Badge Phase II project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly suited to compete for this contract. The awarded supplier, LGBT Foundation Ltd, exemplifies how organisations can successfully contribute to the NHS's diversity and inclusion initiatives, offering a model for future collaborations in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

NHS England is seeking a provider to support the roll-out of the NHS Rainbow Badge Phase II pilot to the next stage. The aim of this is to scale and spread the pilot model, to build in a more systematic approach to LGBT awareness and inclusion within NHS organisations, and to address issues around monitoring, culture, education and training of the workforce more consistently. Development of a sustainable model (e.g. through organisational buy-in) will also be key to building longevity of the work. A pilot project of 'Phase II' is currently in place to explore how a benchmarking scheme may benefit NHS organisations taking part in the NHS Rainbow Badge, through a bronze, silver, gold award scheme.
