## Summary

NHS England commissioned general management consultancy services for its Intensive Recovery Programme, which is intended to address sustained underperformance at a small number of NHS trusts facing severe, long-standing service challenges. This process concerns a variation to the Hull and North Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals review contract. The buyer is NHS England, based in London, and the delivery location is identified as London and England. The requirement is consultancy to support intensive recovery and review work in the named NHS trust context.

The procurement is complete and the contract variation was awarded to Carnall Farrar Ltd. The award was made on 17 August 2026, with a value of £200,000. The varied contract period runs from 7 May 2026 to 30 July 2027. The procurement used a selective call-off from a framework agreement; the variation was awarded under regulation 72.1b of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The stated tender deadline was 6 May 2026. This is a contract variation to an earlier contract, rather than a new standalone competition. The award record does not set out evaluation criteria for this variation.

For consultancy firms considering similar NHS England work, this award indicates demand for specialist management consultancy focused on diagnosing and addressing persistent service underperformance in NHS trusts. Credible suppliers would need to demonstrate the ability to review complex healthcare services, identify operational challenges and support an intensive recovery programme in a trust setting. The work was placed through a framework call-off, so relevant framework appointment and experience competing through that route would matter. NHS England marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the successful supplier is an SME; businesses should therefore assess the scale and delivery capacity needed to undertake comparable trust-level review and recovery work.
