UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council is seeking a provider for a school-based Learning and Wellbeing Survey covering primary, secondary and special schools throughout North Yorkshire. The work will survey pupils in Years 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12, producing reliable information on children and young people’s health, wellbeing and lifestyle. Findings will support the identification of priorities for education, health and wellbeing services, as well as planning, commissioning, resource allocation and service evaluation. Reports are shared with participating schools, Children and Young People’s Service teams, elected members and partner organisations, and are used to target resources and improve outcomes. The procurement is for survey conduction, social research, and related health and social work services.

This procurement is at the planning stage and the council is gathering supplier information to test the scope, feasibility and available solutions before drafting a potential tender specification. Written responses to the request for information are expected by 17 August 2026, with discovery days also under consideration. The buyer’s current expectation is that a future notice will be issued on 9 November 2026. One lot is planned, with an estimated value of £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with renewal provisions allowing the arrangement to extend to 31 March 2031. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This will suit organisations experienced in designing and delivering large-scale school surveys involving children and young people across primary, secondary and special-school settings. Providers should be able to reach pupils in the specified year groups, manage participation across North Yorkshire schools, collect reliable responses and handle a recurring survey programme. Recent exercises have typically generated between 15,000 and 17,000 pupil responses, so relevant capacity for substantial fieldwork, data management and quality assurance will be important. The council is looking for information on the range of available solutions and the feasibility of its requirement, making this useful preparation for survey companies, social research specialists and organisations with health, wellbeing, education or public-sector evaluation experience before the future tender is developed.
