## Summary

The procurement process for project management consultancy services, titled "Project Management," was undertaken by the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public healthcare organisation based in Preston, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically project management consultancy services, as per the CPV classification. The process is complete, with MultiHealth Specialists Ltd awarded the contract on 6th April 2026. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, chosen due to the time-critical nature of the Capital Delivery Programme. This approach was deemed necessary to maintain operational continuity and meet stringent project deadlines, as delays could result in significant risks to service delivery and compliance.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare consultancy services, particularly those with experience in project management, business case development, and stakeholder engagement within a healthcare setting. Companies capable of rapid mobilisation with established understanding of healthcare operations and regulatory standards could greatly benefit from engaging in contracts like this. Moreover, businesses similar to the awarded MultiHealth Specialists Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), can find growth opportunities by aligning themselves with public health trusts and leveraging frameworks like the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning and Ancillary Services Framework to secure direct awards.

The appointed supplier is an approved framework provider and has established knowledge of the Trust's estate, systems, and operational requirements, enabling rapid mobilisation and reducing delivery risk.
