## Summary

NHS Kent and Medway ICB commissioned a business and management consultancy service for a Kent and Medway GPIT review. The requirement is classified as business and management consultancy and related services, covering professional advisory work rather than goods or construction. Delivery is in the South East of England. The buying organisation is NHS Kent and Medway ICB, based in Maidstone. The procurement is categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The requirement concerns the ICB’s general practice information technology environment, although the published description does not provide a more detailed breakdown of the review’s activities or outputs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on 6 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £50,000, with a contract period from 17 August 2026 to 11 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026. NHS Kent and Medway ICB used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was evaluated through this competitive quotation process, but no separate quality, price or other award criteria are stated. The award value is the same as the original estimated tender value, and the selected supplier is Ernst & Young LLP.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist business and management consultancy focused on reviewing general practice information technology across Kent and Medway. It is relevant to consultancies that can provide advisory review services for an NHS integrated care board and understand the operational context of GP information technology. The procurement route was a below-threshold competitive quotation using a limited procedure, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to respond efficiently to targeted quotation exercises rather than relying only on large open competitions. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller consultancies may be credible competitors, although the award shows that a large professional-services firm also satisfied this buyer’s requirement.
