## Summary

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured management consultancy services for its theatres. The requirement falls within general management consultancy, covering health, social care and community work under Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 7. The buying organisation is based at Victoria Warehouse in Gloucester, and the procurement identifies delivery across the United Kingdom and wider locations including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. It is relevant to consultancy firms with experience supporting theatre services and healthcare organisations, particularly those able to work across health, social care and community settings.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 7: Health, social care and community. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 21 August 2026 to Akeso & Co, an SME, for £49,080 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The procurement was classified as general management consultancy services under CPV 79411000. The opportunity was identified as suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For firms assessing future healthcare consultancy opportunities, this award shows that Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust uses a framework call-off to procure focused management consultancy for theatres. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in theatre or healthcare operations, with an understanding of health, social care and community environments. Experience of advising NHS organisations, diagnosing operational or service challenges, and turning recommendations into practical improvements would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate within a managed framework route and meet its requirements for technical quality, governance and delivery. The procurement’s suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that relevant capability is not limited to large consultancies, provided the organisation can demonstrate appropriate expertise and capacity.
