UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) commissioned impact evaluation consultancy for the Longitude Prize on Dementia. The work is intended to evaluate the impact of the prize project, requiring specialist evaluation services rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. UKRI is the public sector buyer, based in Swindon, Wiltshire. The requirement is a single service scope under the title “Longitude Prize on Dementia – Impact Evaluation”. The selected supplier was Nesta, a large organisation based in London, whose involvement indicates that the work is suited to an established consultancy or research organisation able to undertake public-interest programme evaluation across the UK. The procurement concerns evaluation consultancy services, classified under CPV 79419000.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Nesta. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £58,333 excluding VAT, or £69,999.60 including VAT. The contract is active. The award relates to the full requirement for impact evaluation of the Longitude Prize on Dementia. As this was a direct award without competition, the process was not evaluated through a competitive tender. Nesta was the selected supplier, and the award outcome represents the buyer’s chosen route for securing this evaluation service.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the requirement demonstrates demand from UKRI for specialist impact evaluation of a major dementia-focused innovation prize. Businesses well placed for comparable work would be evaluation consultancies, research organisations and public policy specialists able to design and deliver robust assessments of a programme’s effects. Relevant capability would include analysing outcomes, gathering and interpreting evidence, and communicating findings clearly to a public sector research funder. Experience of evaluating innovation programmes, prizes, health or social-impact initiatives would help a competitor establish credibility. Suppliers should also be able to manage a UK-wide assignment and work with the organisations, participants and evidence sources connected with a dementia programme.
