## Summary

NHS England commissioned qualitative interviews with NHS chief executives and NHS chairs to support a wider research study. This is a research interview service focused on senior NHS leaders, rather than clinical care or general health services. The procurement is a single-lot requirement, with the work serving NHS England’s research needs. No delivery location is identified in the procurement details, so the work’s geographic coverage cannot be established from the published scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NHS England used a below-threshold limited competition. Innovas Consulting Solutions Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT (£24,000 including VAT). The requirement was organised as one lot. The available details describe the purchase as qualitative interviews supporting a wider study, but do not state the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering similar research work for NHS England, this award demonstrates demand for qualitative interviewing with NHS chief executives and chairs. A credible competitor would need to show that it can engage senior NHS leaders, conduct high-quality interviews and turn those discussions into evidence useful to a wider research study. Experience in healthcare research and familiarity with NHS leadership and governance would help demonstrate that capability. The requirement was delivered at a modest, focused scale by a supplier identified as a large business, indicating that the work did not depend on a major multi-provider arrangement. Research consultancies with strong senior-stakeholder access and robust qualitative methods are therefore the closest fit; general health service providers without research interviewing capability are less directly aligned.
