## Summary

NHS England has successfully concluded a procurement process for a project titled "Critical Care Workforce Modelling in support of Covid-19 Response". This initiative falls under the Business and Management Consultancy Services category and is designed to enhance the NHS's capacity management during the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £179,784, was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on 23rd April 2020. The project delivery spans from 24th April 2020 to 29th May 2020, covering various regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and London. This process utilised a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the relevant contract notice published on 24th September 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those with experience in health and workforce management.

The engaging nature of the contract also opens potentials for smaller and voluntary community-based organisations, as the procurement encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises). This initiative highlights the increasing need for expert consultancy in the health sector, particularly during crisis response efforts.
