Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government which companies they approached to compete for the contract to review the NHS Test and Trace system; and how they approached such companies.
The contract with McKinsey commenced on 18 May 2020. McKinsey were approached via the Crown Commercial service Management Consultancy Framework 2. They were selected following the guidance on the framework due to their experience on working on similar requirements, their ability to deliver at pace and their ability to deliver at extremely short notice given the urgency of the COVID-19 situation.
