## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) commissioned an external review of its board’s effectiveness. This is a professional services requirement covering business and management consultancy, focused specifically on evaluating the performance and effectiveness of a medicines and healthcare products regulator’s board. The buying organisation is MHRA, a central government public authority based in London. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies that provide independent board evaluation, governance review or related management consultancy services for public bodies, particularly organisations able to assess the effectiveness of a regulatory agency’s board rather than deliver operational medicines or healthcare services. The procurement comprised one requirement, covering the full board evaluation review.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Praesta Partners LLP was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the MHRA board evaluation review. The stated subject is business and management consultancy and related services. The published outcome shows a completed procurement rather than an opportunity for further bids, with the contract awarded to Praesta Partners LLP under the direct-award route.

This procurement indicates demand from MHRA for an external, independent assessment of board effectiveness delivered through specialist business and management consultancy. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need a credible capability in board evaluation and governance review, with the ability to assess the effectiveness of a central government regulator’s board. Praesta Partners LLP is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was suitable for an SME consultancy rather than being limited to a large professional-services firm. Relevant providers would be consultancies whose core offer combines senior-level board assessment with structured management advice, and that can deliver a focused review for a public authority in London.
