Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, located in Leeds, United Kingdom, seeks to engage a supplier for the "NIHR funding awards annual reporting: Research Inclusion" contract. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on administrative educational services and performance review services. The project, which began planning in February 2026, reached the tender stage, closing submissions by March 2026, and concluded with an award in June 2026, marking the project's progression into the active contract stage. The contract, slated to start from June 1, 2026, is set to continue until May 31, 2029, with possibilities for a two-year extension. Conducted under an open competition method, this procurement aims to fulfil the NIHR Infrastructure reporting requirements for a five-year period.

This tender opportunity offers significant prospects for growth to organisations skilled in performance review and administrative educational services, particularly for those capable of handling large-scale public projects. While the selected supplier, DiversitiQ CIC, has already been awarded the contract, future opportunities may arise from similar needs as described in the tender. Companies focusing on quality, effective pricing strategies, and social value would find themselves in a competitive position for such procurement processes. This contract emphasises technical capability, pricing, and presentation skills, making it especially suitable for large organisations equipped to manage complex reporting and compliance requirements across the healthcare sector.

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
