This process, targeting the improvement of patient access and outcomes, engaged multiple suppliers for seven contracts divided into regional lots, including Midlands, London, and the South East, among others. The awarding stage completed on 18th May 2026, with a contract period starting from 1st June 2026 until 31st May 2029 and an optional extension period of one additional year. Notably, lots were available for bidding under the criteria that no supplier could secure more than three regions, promoting a competitive tendering environment that supports both large and small businesses. This procurement initiative presents an exceptional opportunity for businesses specializing in general management consultancy and supportive services in healthcare settings, particularly those with experience in operational transformation in clinical environments. The open procedure allowed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) alongside larger businesses to compete, fostering diverse participation within the market. The contracts encompass a significant budget over three years, providing stable business growth prospects for successful tenderers and the possibility of serving multiple regions within England. To excel, businesses should be adept in delivering quality consultancy services, exhibit robust technical proficiency, and demonstrate the capacity for contributing to social value in their delivery models. ## Notice UPDATE PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STANDSTILL PERIOD FOR EACH LOT WILL END 15 JUNE 2026. The aim of this procurement is to establish a commercial mechanism for Practice Level Support (PLS) services. PLS is an improvement support programme for general practice that helps general practices to make operational changes for the benefit of patients and staff. For patients, benefits are in improved access and health outcomes, and for staff through increased productivity and reduced workload. There are 7 contracts offered in 7 Lots, one for each region in England. The contracts are for 3 years with an option to extend for an additional year. A supplier can bid for all 7 Lots but can only win up to 3, please see ITT documents for more details. The contract will be used by NHS England as the main contracting authority but Integrated Care Boards (ICB's) will also be able to use the contract via clustering arrangements. ### Lot Information Midlands Practice Level support services in general practice in Midlands Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance London Practice Level support services in general practice in London Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance North East & Yorkshire Practice Level support services in general practice in North East & Yorkshire Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance North West England Practice Level support services in general practice in North West England Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance South East England Practice Level support services in general practice in South East England Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance East of England Practice Level support services in general practice in East of England Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance South West England Practice Level support services in general practice in South West England Renewal: Up to 12 months extension, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052844-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 May 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Jun 2026 - 31 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £48,000,000 | | Lots value | £48,000,000 | | Awards value | £40,800,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Pending | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | DEVELOP CONSULTING; QUALITAS CONSORTIUM; ROYAL COLLEGE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS (RCGP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services - 79411000 - General management consultancy services - 85121100 - General-practitioner services ## Release History - 4 Jun 2026 at 13:05 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052844-2026 - 4 Jun 2026 at 12:15 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052784-2026 - 14 May 2026 at 14:06 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044455-2026 - 18 Feb 2026 at 16:46 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014969-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052844-2026 4th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052784-2026 4th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044455-2026 14th May 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014969-2026 18th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.england.nhs.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
