## Summary

The NHS Central East Integrated Care Board, located at Gemini House, Bartholomew's Walk, Cambridge Business Park in Ely, has awarded a contract for the provision of Advice and Guidance Services under the title "2089 Advice and Guidance for NHS Central East Integrated Care Board". The procurement process utilises a direct award method, ensuring service continuity with a short-term interim arrangement prior to a future competitive procurement. The contract, valued at £357,500.00, is classified under the health services category and begins on 1st July 2026, ending on 31st July 2027, with an option to extend by an additional 13 months. The award is pending, with the service being provided by Consultant Connect Limited, based in Oxford, and is targeted at sustaining service operations across the ICB footprint with a standstill period concluding on 12th June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those specialising in health services. The opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses capable of delivering advice and guidance services efficiently, leveraging their expertise to benefit the public health sector. The direct procurement method used here bypasses competitive tendering processes which might provide an advantage to established SMEs looking to expand their service offerings in the NHS public sector, thereby potentially fostering business growth and enhancing their reputation within the healthcare industry.
