## Summary

The NHS Commissioning Board has completed a public procurement process for a project titled "Supporting implementation of place-based commissioning arrangements of specialised services across Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) example areas and regional teams". This initiative focused on securing specialist external consultancy support for the development and delivery of collaborative commissioning arrangements in four Sustainability Transformation Plan areas: Greater Manchester, South East London, Herefordshire & Worcestershire, and Cornwall.

The contract period commenced on 12 April 2017 and concluded on 11 July 2017, with the award announcement made on 4 April 2017.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in business and management consultancy services, particularly those experienced in the healthcare sector.
