## Summary

This procurement activity by NHS England targets the provision of a "National Infrastructure & Service Transformation Authority Gate 5 Review," marking the closure phase of the Frontline Digitisation Programme. The contract, dated to commence on 16 March 2026 and end by 19 March 2026, is valued at £14,716.87 GBP. Categorised under health and government services, it involves external reviewers to assure programme closure readiness. NHS England, located in London, is the buyer, while HM Treasury, also based in London, serves as the supplier. The procurement method employed was 'direct,' as the contract was issued below the threshold without competition.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for businesses capable of providing independent assurance services in governmental and health sectors. Ideal contenders for this tender would be enterprises specialising in programme evaluation and project management within healthcare and public service domains. Companies with experience in digital transformation and infrastructure projects, particularly those that value collaboration with governmental bodies like NHS England and HM Treasury, stand well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for further expansion and reputation building.

## Notice

The service is an independent NISTA Gate 5 assurance review for the Frontline Digitisation Programme, which is entering its formal close-down phase after four years and must be removed from the Government Major Projects Portfolio by 31 March 2026. The review, commissioned through HM Treasury, provides external assurance to assess programme closure readiness, verify delivery outcomes, and confirm that lessons learned, benefits, and close-down requirements have been met. This work will be carried out by NISTA, with external reviewers used if required, and represents the mandatory final assurance step before the programme concludes.
