Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council commissioned a health and wellbeing epidemiological survey to identify health trends and needs among people living in Medway. The work involves randomly selecting around 8,200 households and visiting each selected household to invite residents to participate, except where residents have opted out or completed the survey online. This is survey delivery and fieldwork for a local population health study, rather than a general health service. The work is delivered in Medway, in the South East of England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Lake Communications Limited. Medway Council used an open competition below the UK public procurement threshold. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £137,250 excluding VAT (£164,700 including VAT). Bids were assessed on quality, weighted at 65%, price at 30% and social value at 5%. The original tender deadline was 12 June 2026. The contract covers the single survey requirement for Medway; the estimated procurement value was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT).

For comparable work when this requirement returns to market, credible suppliers will need to demonstrate they can deliver a population health survey across Medway at household level. The central operational challenge is contacting a randomly selected sample of around 8,200 households and arranging visits, while accounting for residents who opt out or complete the survey online. Relevant strengths include survey design and fieldwork, reliable interviewer capacity, household access and engagement, and the ability to coordinate in-person and online participation. The award was decided mainly on quality, with price and social value also considered, so suppliers should be able to evidence a strong delivery approach and meaningful social value alongside competitive pricing. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, while small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete.
