Coverage: 859 active published awards; 13 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
NHS England has commissioned a service providing access to suitably qualified and experienced external investigators to undertake complex and sensitive workplace investigations. These investigations may include, but are not limited to, human resources (HR) matters, Freedom to Speak Up (FTSU) (whistleblowing) concerns, and data breach investigations. The service will support NHS England in responding promptly and robustly to concerns raised by staff, in alignment with the NHS People Promise. It will help ensure that staff feel heard and valued, while enabling NHS England to fulfil its responsibilities as an employer.
