Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has initiated an open procurement process titled "NDC Annual Survey," aimed at commissioning a research supplier to conduct quantitative research with a nationally-representative sample of the general public regarding their usage of National Digital Channels. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to health services, and uses NHS standard purchase order terms and conditions. The location of the buying organisation is Wellington House, London, UK, and the tender is currently active with the submission period closing on 12 December 2025, following the inquiry period ending on 10 December 2025. The contract duration is set from 19 December 2025 to 12 March 2026, with a budget approved up to £48,958 excluding VAT.

The tender presents opportunities for businesses with expertise in conducting statistical research in health services and digital media to gain a foothold in the public sector. Suitable candidates include SMEs (small to medium-sized enterprises) and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) as outlined in the suitability criteria. The procurement method encourages open competition below the threshold, promoting inclusivity and enabling businesses to demonstrate technical and social value alongside commercial viability, evaluated at 80% and 20% respectively. Given the transparent procurement process utilising electronic submissions via the Atamis portal, this tender could be particularly advantageous for suppliers seeking to expand their service offerings within the governmental health sector.
