## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has concluded the award stage of a procurement process titled "NHSE Transformation: IT Consultancy". This tender, classified under the IT services industry, called for consultancy services crucial to their Transformation Programme. The service location is Leeds, United Kingdom, with the contract valued at £8,000,000 and spanning from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. It was executed through a selective procurement method, specifically via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 22nd September 2025, and the contract was awarded to COGNIZANT WORLDWIDE LIMITED, a large-scale firm.

This tender facilitates substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large IT consultancy firms capable of handling complex transformation projects within the public sector. The fact that the procurement process used a framework agreement might present networking advantages for companies already within such agreements. Although the contract is oriented towards larger firms, SMEs with evolving capacities and strong expertise in IT services could explore similar tenders in future procurements for potential inclusion in framework agreements.
