## Summary

The NHS Commissioning Board is seeking consultancy support for its Multispecialty Contract Provider (MCP) Programme, with a contract value of £246,900. This procurement process, categorized under business and management consultancy services, has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 31st October 2016. The contract will run from 1st November 2016 to 31st March 2017, focusing on operationalising policy to enable the MCP Contract to go live in April 2017. Interested parties are encouraged to take note of the relevant details as this opportunity reflects the ongoing need for consultancy in healthcare transformation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in management consultancy, particularly those with expertise in healthcare operations and policy development. Firms that specialize in delivering strategic support and building internal capabilities within public sector organisations would be well-positioned to compete.

The objective is to develop, deliver and assist in building internal expertise for the Multi-speciality Contract Provider (MCP) programme during 2016/17.

This work programme stems from a public announcement made by the Prime Minister to introduce a new Voluntary MCP contract
