## Summary

The procurement process initiated by NHS England seeks an Evaluation Partner for the Federated Data Platform (FDP) under an open procedure. NHS England, a central government public authority, is headquartered in London. This contract, valued at £583,531, is part of the Government Major Projects Portfolio due to the scale and complexity of the FDP. The procurement focuses on evaluation services within research and development consultancy, aiming to assess project impacts and ensure value for money. The contract commenced on 18th May 2026 and will conclude on 17th May 2029. The procurement process included a bidding phase that ended with an award to Imperial College Projects as the supplier.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation and consultancy services, especially for those with experience in handling large-scale data projects and government collaborations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in research and development services can find this a lucrative opportunity, particularly given that seven bids, including four from SMEs, were received during the procurement process.
