Pick Everard has been appointed to a four-year NHS and public sector framework.

The 'NHS SBS Consult 18' framework is a vehicle which provides business support services to the NHS and public sector across the country.

Valued at between £20 million and £50 million, the programme is divided into 10 lots that cover a range of consultancy services to support healthcare and public sector organisations, from GP practices to major public authorities.

Pick Everard will be delivering a number of services for three different lots, with services including: strategy development, management support, capital asset delivery, complex projects and change management. Overall, the consultancy will build on its expertise in the management consultancy market, providing advisory and consultancy services.


Dr Nicola Thompson, National Director at Pick Everard, said: "The NHS is a treasured British institution celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and we're extremely proud and excited to have been appointed to its new Shared Business Services framework. Under the NHS banner, clients in the healthcare and public sectors can be assured of a robust procurement solution from trusted suppliers.

"Pick Everard tendered for this framework as a route for access to the management consultancy market. As a new discipline within advisory services, this long-term partnership with the NHS SBS will allow us to open new doors and also provides a fantastic opportunity to continue to grow the management consultancy discipline."

Rod Burton, Partner at Pick Everard, added: "The rapid, sustainable growth Pick Everard has experienced over the past five years – along with our focus on quality, high levels of service and technical excellence – has been delivered on the back of major appointments such as this one.

"Being a multi-disciplinary consultancy allows us to deliver a wide variety of services across a range of different sectors and I'm looking forward to seeing our management consultancy services offering growing over the next four years and beyond.

"The Pick Everard team has worked hard to develop tailor-made delivery approaches for each contract, which has put us in the best position possible to meet the complex needs of different organisations."
