## Summary

Health Data Research UK commissioned strategic development and advisory services for Futures, powered by HDR UK. The requirement covers fractional strategic advice and delivery to advance Futures’ strategic priorities and support its long-term objectives. This is a professional services opportunity focused on business development consultancy, strategic planning and practical delivery rather than goods or construction. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at 215 Euston Road, London. It is relevant to consultancies or specialist advisers able to provide senior strategic input on a fractional basis and help translate organisational priorities into delivery. The single requirement was awarded as one service lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the selected supplier is Opendoor Scientific Ltd. Health Data Research UK used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 26 February 2026 and runs from 2 March 2026 to 7 June 2027. Its gross value is £51,540. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. It comprised one completed lot covering the strategic development and advisory requirement. The successful supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract period indicates an ongoing advisory and delivery engagement rather than a one-off report or isolated consultancy assignment.

This award demonstrates demand from Health Data Research UK for fractional strategic advisory and delivery support linked to Futures and its longer-term priorities. A future competitor would need to show credible experience in business development consultancy, strategic development and advisory work, together with the ability to provide senior input while also supporting practical delivery. Useful evidence would include translating organisational strategy into clear priorities, helping realise long-term objectives and working effectively within a public-sector or research-focused environment. Suppliers are likely to be best placed if they can provide flexible specialist capacity rather than only large permanent teams, and can combine strategic judgement with hands-on implementation. The requirement suits focused consultancies and specialist small or medium-sized enterprises with relevant leadership experience.
