Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund is commissioning evaluation consultancy services for its Health Mission in England. The supplier will undertake an impact evaluation examining how the Health Inequities Partnership, responsive funding and community-led action contribute to addressing health inequalities. The work is intended to generate and share learning about the approaches that help create more equitable health outcomes. Delivery is across England. This is a public services opportunity for organisations specialising in health, public policy or community-sector research and evaluation, particularly those able to assess the contribution of partnerships, funding programmes and locally led activity. The requirement combines research, impact assessment, analysis and practical communication of learning for a national funding organisation.

The process has reached tender: the Fund invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot procurement with an estimated value of £1,600,000 excluding VAT, or £2,000,000 including VAT. The deadline for enquiries was 3 September 2026 at 2:00pm, and the deadline for offers was 10 September 2026 at 2:00pm. The evaluation period was scheduled to end on 19 October 2026. The contract is intended to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2031. Offers are assessed on technical quality, weighted at 80%, and commercial considerations, weighted at 20%. Electronic submission is allowed, and submissions must be in English. The opportunity is identified as above-threshold.

This requirement suits evaluation consultancies, research organisations and specialist partnerships with experience of assessing health inequalities and complex community interventions. Strong suppliers will be able to evaluate the contribution of multiple approaches rather than only measure single outputs, including partnership working, responsive grant funding and community-led action. Relevant capability includes designing and delivering impact evaluations, collecting and analysing evidence, interpreting how change happens in different communities, and producing findings that can improve future practice. The work also suits organisations able to communicate learning clearly to funders, partners and community stakeholders. The procurement is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist providers as well as larger evaluation firms.
