Consultancy Agreement - Extension

The Nursing and Midwifery Council has concluded the procurement process for an extension of a consultancy services agreement, appointing a Chair for a Health Steering Committee. The contract, valued at £51,000, falls under the Health Services category and covers the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2026. The procurement method used was a single tender action below threshold, and the contract was directly awarded to Professor Alex McMahon.

This process is in its awarding stage, and the announcement of the award was published on 30 June 2025. The engagement will be carried out in the United Kingdom, with the project's suitability criteria indicating a preference for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses offering consultancy in the health sector, particularly those with experience in steering committee leadership.

The contract's direct award suggests that entities with a strong prior work relationship with the buyer, or those capable of providing highly specialised consultancy services, are ideally positioned to benefit. SMEs looking to expand their footprint in the healthcare consultancy market or to establish a foothold with significant organisations like the Nursing and Midwifery Council might find similar opportunities advantageous for growth and network expansion.
