## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority procured specialist consultancy and subject-matter expertise to support the procurement and contract management of Healthy Start Vitamins Framework Agreements. The requirement covers vitamin-related services, with associated research and development consultancy. Delivery is associated with Newcastle upon Tyne and the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector professional services opportunity for organisations able to advise on the design, procurement and ongoing management of framework agreements for vitamins. The work sits within the services category and is relevant to consultancies, food or nutrition specialists, framework procurement advisers, and suppliers with experience supporting regulated health-related purchasing. The buying organisation is the NHS Business Services Authority, which uses this expertise to manage the commercial arrangements underpinning Healthy Start Vitamins.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure above the threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 16 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded on 21 August 2026. Campden Bri (Chipping Campden) Limited was selected for a contract worth £176,958. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2034. Evaluation resulted in a single active award covering the requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The long contract period indicates an extended advisory and contract-management requirement supporting the Healthy Start Vitamins Framework Agreements. The procurement’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £176,958, in GBP.

This award demonstrates demand from the NHS Business Services Authority for specialist support around vitamin procurement and the management of framework agreements. A credible future competitor would need strong subject-matter knowledge of vitamins, together with consultancy capability covering regulated public procurement, commercial strategy and contract management. Relevant experience would include helping public bodies design or procure framework agreements, managing supplier relationships, monitoring contractual performance and supporting compliant delivery over a sustained period. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a focused specialist consultancy may be able to compete alongside larger providers if it can demonstrate reliable capacity, clear commercial advice and an understanding of NHS procurement environments. Organisations combining nutrition or food-sector expertise with public-sector procurement and contract-management experience are particularly well placed.
