## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the award stage of the NHSE-DHSC transformation programme, particularly focusing on Organisational Development Lot 1. The contract, awarded to KORN FERRY (UK) LIMITED, aims to develop organisational culture and capabilities, with a selective procurement approach initiated through a framework agreement. The project will be executed in London, with a specific delivery address in SW1H 0EU, United Kingdom, under the human resources management consultancy services category (CPV: 79414000). Key dates include the end of the tender period on 18 August 2025 and the contract period running from 8 September 2025 to 22 August 2026, valued at £1,785,958.80 GBP.

This tender allows interested parties, particularly those with SME designation, to leverage government contracts as a springboard for growth, by engaging in high-scale organisational development activities beyond typical business scope. Consulting firms with expertise in transformation programmes and HR management can benefit from the experience and connections gained by collaborating with prominent bodies like the DHSC and NHSE to influence healthcare strategies and practices across the UK. The involvement in such strategic initiatives can expand their portfolio, enhance credibility, and foster long-term relationships with government agencies.

## Notice

The DHSC-NHSE Transformation Programme brings together Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England (NHSE) colleagues to build a DHSC for the future - an agile, mission-focused and productive organisation better equipped to lead the health and care ecosystem and deliver better for patients and citizens. Alongside the organisational design of the new DHSC, a critical element of the transformation programme will be the Organisational Development to create and drive the right target culture, values, behaviours and capabilities. Whilst NHS England and DHSC have organisational development capability, the scale of activity required is significantly greater than our core business: external support is necessary to bring a fresh perspective informed by successful similar transformations, best practice and to add capability and capacity to help us engage, plan and deliver well. This Contract Variation enables an extension of the existing Organisational Development services provided by Korn Ferry to include delivery of the Pay Strategy Discovery Phase. Korn Ferry will undertake an 8-12 week discovery exercise to assess the organisation's current pay landscape, establish an evidence base, engage key stakeholders, and define the parameters within which future pay strategy design activity will operate.
