Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in London is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process, as outlined in their "DHSC: PCP: Screening Interval Public Dialogue 2025" initiative. This procurement seeks to engage a contractor to conduct a comprehensive public dialogue regarding screening intervals in the UK. With a strong emphasis on gathering diverse public opinions, this initiative is set to start in August 2025 and conclude by May 2026, with possible extensions until July 2026. Positioned within the research and development consultancy services industry, the procurement involves planning activities like market engagement, which includes supplier engagement scheduled for completion by 6th May 2025, with future notices expected by 22nd May 2025. The procurement process is defined under the UK procurement legislative framework and pertains to services, with an estimated contract value of £100,000 gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and public consultation services. As the procurement process is still in the planning stage, it provides an excellent chance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to influence the specifications and approach, which may result in favourable tender conditions. Companies that can effectively combine stakeholder consultations, public forums, and surveys with strategic engagement approaches are well-suited to participate. The emphasis on balancing evidence with societal values offers businesses adept in blending technical know-how with community engagement a distinct advantage in potentially shaping future health policies in the UK.
