The contract, awarded on 9th February 2026, involved direct procurement of services from the UCL Institute of Health Equity titled "Provision to support North East Lincolnshire Council in becoming a Marmot Place". This process, which began in 2025 and concluded with a signed contract in 2026, focuses on health and social work services in the Grimsby area (region UKE13), utilising a direct award method justified by the unique nature of the service and sole supplier status of UCL Institute of Health Equity. The contract period extends from 9th February 2026 to 8th February 2028 with a gross value of £187,020.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations involved in health equity and strategic planning services. Businesses specialising in public health policy development, accreditation services, and community engagement campaigns would benefit from similar opportunities. The direct engagement with University College London, a large institution recognised in health equity, highlights the potential for collaboration with leading experts and governments to drive impactful change in local health strategies. Companies looking to establish credibility and expand their portfolios in health and social work services should consider pursuing contracts with local governments aiming to address health disparities and embed equity within their governance frameworks.
