## Summary

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) commissioned human resources management consultancy services to support the creation of its future ways of working. The requirement covers advice and support on how NICE organises and operates its work, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is based in London, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a professional services opportunity for consultancies with expertise in organisational design, workforce strategy, operating models and practical ways of working. The named requirement is “NICE Future ways of working”, indicating a focus on developing an approach that can guide how the organisation works in future.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NICE used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 20 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded on 20 August 2026 to ACTICA CONSULTING LIMITED, with an awarded value of £187,163 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The procurement was for services, and the recorded classification is human resources management consultancy services. The process records one supplier and one requirement. The contract was awarded through the framework route, so participation in the relevant framework was a prerequisite for this call-off.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need demonstrable human resources and organisational consultancy capability, with experience translating organisational objectives into workable operating models and day-to-day practices. Useful strengths would include workforce strategy, organisational design, stakeholder engagement, facilitation, change management and the ability to produce clear, implementable recommendations. Suppliers should be able to work with a public-sector organisation and manage a defined consultancy assignment from discovery through to practical implementation guidance. Access to the relevant framework agreement is important because NICE used a framework call-off for this procurement. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a preference for suppliers with established capacity and a suitably broad delivery capability.
