## Summary

NHS England commissioned development consultancy to create an anti-racism and anti-discrimination framework for the PEAD Programme. The framework is intended to support maternity and neonatal services in implementing and sustaining improvements that reduce inequalities and promote equitable care. The work falls within development consultancy services (CPV 73220000) and is associated with delivery in England, with NHS England based at Wellington House in London. This is a health-sector transformation and advisory requirement rather than a supply or construction contract. Relevant organisations include consultancies, healthcare improvement specialists and equality-focused advisers able to translate anti-racism principles into practical frameworks for maternity and neonatal services. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s intended supplier base extends beyond large national consultancies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the NHS SBS Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health framework, using Lot 3 for commercialisation, innovation and transformation. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. NHS England awarded the contract to Transformation Partners in Health and Care on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £97,534.17. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, giving a 10-month delivery period with no extension option. The recorded procurement value is also £97,534.17. The outcome provides a clear example of NHS England buying specialist transformation consultancy through an established health-sector framework, with the requirement focused on developing a service-improvement framework rather than delivering routine clinical services.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement indicates demand for specialist consultancy combining anti-racism, anti-discrimination, health inequalities and service transformation expertise. A credible competitor would need to understand maternity and neonatal care, work effectively with NHS stakeholders and turn equality objectives into a practical framework that services can implement and sustain. Evidence of designing improvement programmes, supporting organisational change and measuring progress would strengthen a future response. Suppliers should also be able to address discrimination and unequal outcomes in a clinically sensitive setting, while producing advice that is usable across services rather than purely theoretical research. The buyer’s acceptance of SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises shows that smaller specialist organisations, including equality-led advisers with relevant NHS or public-sector experience, can be well placed for this type of requirement.
