Notice Title

NIHR funding awards annual reporting: Research Inclusion

Notice Description

Research Inclusion would like to procure an organisation to fulfil NIHR Infrastructure reporting requirement for a 5-year period, starting in summer 2026. This approach is suggested to ensure we meet reporting requirements in short timeframes and minimise risks to deliver the NIHR Research Inclusion programme. The number of reviews will increase over the next few years with new Infrastructure awards and then start decreasing from 2027 once some awards come to a close. The identified supplier will be expected to fulfil the same requirements as above, as well as reviewing elements of annual reporting narrative reports
