Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Learning and Wellbeing Surveys – 662-NYC-HA," with an emphasis on gathering information from potential providers. This project falls under the services category, specifically targeting health, social work, and survey conduction services. The procurement aims to continue a biennial health, wellbeing, and lifestyle survey for children and young people across North Yorkshire. Key locations include primary, secondary, and special schools in the UKE2 region of the United Kingdom. Interested suppliers are encouraged to participate in market engagement activities which are due by 17th August 2026. This initiative provides an opportunity to shape the future tender specification, leading to a contract starting from 1st April 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in survey conduction, social research, and health services, especially those that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). With an estimated gross value of £120,000, participating in the preliminary market engagement could provide businesses the insight needed to effectively compete for the future contract. Organizations offering unique, scalable solutions that can reach approximately 15,000 to 17,000 pupils biennially would be well-suited for this tender. Furthermore, the potential for renewal extends business growth possibilities through long-term involvement with North Yorkshire Council’s strategic planning and service delivery.
