Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council commissioned a community health survey covering adults aged 16 and over. The service is intended to collect comprehensive information about the physical and mental wellbeing of the local population, including health status and behaviours analysed by different population and household characteristics. This is a health and social research service, classified under CPV 85000000. Delivery is in West Sussex, including the Chichester area. The requirement is relevant to organisations that design and deliver population surveys, gather robust quantitative and qualitative health data, and produce analysis that can distinguish results across demographic and household groups. The council is the buyer and will use the findings to understand local health and wellbeing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NAVIGATOR INSIGHT LTD. West Sussex County Council used a limited procedure through competitive quotation below the threshold. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The award date was 3 September 2026. The awarded value was £101,854.80. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. The contract covers one service requirement rather than separately described lots. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the competitive quotation process; the available information identifies the service scope and procurement route but does not set out detailed scoring criteria.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a defined, time-limited community health survey rather than general health consultancy. A credible future provider would need to plan and conduct surveys involving adults aged 16 and over, obtain reliable evidence on physical and mental wellbeing, and analyse health status and behaviours across population and household characteristics. Strong capability in questionnaire design, fieldwork, sampling, respondent engagement, data quality control and clear statistical reporting would be relevant. Experience of working with local authorities and handling sensitive health information would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist research organisations may be competitive alongside larger survey providers.
