The UK government wants to hire coaching staff, expert advisors, and project managers to help run the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme during the first half of 2026. The notice suggests this work should go directly to PPL (a specific supplier) through an existing government framework called SBS, rather than being openly competed.
Requirements
- Must be able to provide coaching resources (staff who train and support others)
- Must have subject matter expertise in neighbourhood health programmes
- Must have programme management capability (ability to plan, track, and deliver projects)
- Should be procured via the SBS framework (pre-approved supplier list)
- Direct award recommended to PPL specifically for continuity
- Work must be deliverable in Q1 2026 (January–March) and Q2 2026 (April–June)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide coaching support to implementation teams
- Supply expert knowledge and advice on neighbourhood health delivery
- Manage the overall programme, including scheduling, tracking progress, and ensuring deadlines are met
- Maintain continuity with previous phases of the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'direct award' notice — the government has already decided who they want (PPL). This is NOT an open competition, so new bidders may have limited opportunity unless the award doesn't proceed.
- 2Look for the full tender documents on Contracts Finder or the SBS framework portal — this summary is short, so details on exact team size, location, and deliverables will be in those documents.
- 3Watch the notice date carefully: this is for Q1/Q2 2026, so procurement will likely happen in late 2025. If it's already past that, the contract may have been awarded.
- 4The mention of 'continuity' suggests this follows previous work — if you're not the incumbent (existing provider), you'll need to show you can quickly understand what's already been done.
- 5Check whether this is truly 'direct award' (single-source) or whether it's still going to SBS framework as an open call — the wording is ambiguous.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're on the SBS framework but not PPL, contact the government department now to express interest — there may be room for subcontracting or a consortium bid if PPL cannot deliver.
- Coaching and programme management roles often allow flexible staffing. Consider whether you can partner with subject-matter experts in neighbourhood health (social prescribing, primary care networks, community health) rather than building a full team in-house.
- The 6-month timeframe (Q1–Q2 2026) is relatively short. Emphasise your ability to mobilise quickly and your experience with health service transformation if you bid — avoid lengthy setup costs.
