Summary of the contracting process

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) commissioned an ongoing reputational research programme. The service covers the provision of reputation research over a three-year programme, classified as market research services (CPV 79310000). The work is a service requirement for NICE, with delivery linked to Manchester and the wider United Kingdom. The buyer is NICE, based at 3 Piccadilly Place, Manchester. Businesses relevant to this requirement are market research agencies able to design and deliver continuing reputational research for a public-sector organisation, rather than suppliers of goods, construction or one-off consultancy unrelated to reputation measurement.

This procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Yonder Consulting Limited. The award date was 10 July 2026. The awarded value is £180,000. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 12:00. NICE used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender status is complete, and the award is active. The award covers the full reputational research programme and was made to one supplier. The recorded procurement category is services. The opportunity was assessed through the procurement process associated with the dynamic purchasing system.

This award provides a clear indication of NICE’s continuing demand for structured reputational research rather than a single survey or short-term research exercise. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need demonstrable market research expertise, the ability to run an ongoing programme, and sufficient delivery capacity to maintain consistent research and reporting over an extended period. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs, so businesses should assess whether they have the scale, resources and organisational resilience expected for a substantial public-sector research programme. Credibility is likely to depend on relevant experience in reputation research, reliable programme management and the ability to produce evidence that NICE can use to understand its standing among stakeholders.
