## Summary

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract under less conventional means to The Value Circle LLP for communications and engagement services related to the Models of Care Programme. As time-sensitive improvements to the Trust's CQC programme were needed urgently, the traditional competitive procurement was bypassed in favour of expediency. The project, connected with healthcare services, is located within the UKH region, specifically focusing on Norfolk and Waveney areas, and aims to enhance strategic cohesiveness across these areas. The contract, valued at £174,511, was signed on 1st October 2024, ensuring the programme’s swift execution with services categorised under business and management consultancy.

This unique procurement process presents opportunities for businesses equipped to swiftly deliver specialised management consultancy services, particularly those experienced in healthcare system improvements. Companies operating within or familiar with the Norfolk and Waveney regions might find this advantageous, especially SMEs that have strategic knowledge and capabilities in managing sensitive, urgent projects that require rapid mobilisation and execution. Such awards highlight the potential for businesses that can adapt quickly and offer consistent, high-quality consultancy services within stringent timeframes, aligning closely with public health sector needs.

## Notice

Thevaluecircle LLP were initially engaged to scope a programme of works to support the development, and implementation of, the models of care and models of care plus programme. This work was crucial to the Trusts' CQC improvement journey, and timescales for this work precluded the ability to undertake a competitive procurement process, due to the urgent need for works to commence, and are for a very specific project. Thevaluecircle LLP were also working across the Norfolk & Waveney ICB, which allowed a consistent strategic approach when working on this programme.

### Procurement Information

The combined supplier spend was picked up as part of a retrospective spend review process. The urgency and criticality of the requirement outpaced the time required to conduct a suitable procurement process. Although the supplier is listed on suitably qualified and approved framework agreements, the agreement was made outside of the call off order processes.
