## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) commissioned an external review of the effectiveness of its board. This is a business and management consultancy service, focused on assessing board performance and providing an independent review rather than delivering medicines, medical products or operational services. The buying organisation is MHRA, a central government public authority based in London. The requirement was treated as a single service package and awarded to Praesta Partners LLP, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies specialising in board evaluation, governance effectiveness, organisational review and senior leadership advisory services, particularly those able to work with public authorities and regulated organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and awarded to Praesta Partners LLP. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the MHRA board evaluation review. The published outcome identifies business and management consultancy as the service category. The available procurement details do not set out a scored evaluation basis; the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

For competitors, this award is evidence that MHRA buys independent consultancy to examine the effectiveness of its board. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in board evaluation, governance review and senior-level organisational assessment, with the independence to provide an external judgement rather than routine management support. Experience producing clear, evidence-based findings for a public authority would be relevant, as would the capacity to deliver a focused review within a short engagement. Praesta Partners LLP’s selection also shows that an SME consultancy can satisfy this type of requirement. Suppliers tracking MHRA should therefore position relevant governance and board-review expertise around this specific organisational need.
