## Summary

The NHS Commissioning Board has awarded a contract for the "Devolution Programme Policy Support" tender, which falls under the Business and management consultancy and related services category. This procurement, which was initiated as a tender, has reached the award stage, with the contract's value set at £155,840. The consultancy services are focused on delivering policy analysis and developing a framework for devolving NHS England functions to local systems. The contract period runs from 22nd August 2016 to 21st November 2017, with the procurement process having concluded the tender period on 14th June 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms with expertise in policy analysis and strategic development, particularly those experienced in working with healthcare organisations. Businesses that specialise in consultancy services, especially those with a focus on governmental or healthcare-related projects, would be particularly well-suited to compete for such opportunities. With the NHS undergoing considerable transformation, this project could lead to further engagements in similar initiatives aimed at enhancing local governance in healthcare delivery.
