UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) commissioned a benefit–risk evaluation provider for evaluation engagements run by the agency. The requirement is for evaluation consultancy services, focused on assessing the balance between the benefits and risks associated with medicines or healthcare products. MHRA is a UK central government public authority based in London, and the services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single service requirement under the title “BRE Evaluator”. The selected supplier is Jessie Cunnett Consulting Limited, a UK small and medium-sized enterprise. The work is relevant to consultancies and specialist advisers experienced in benefit–risk evaluation, regulatory assessment and evidence-based analysis for medicines or healthcare products.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. MHRA used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award was made to Jessie Cunnett Consulting Limited on 13 August 2026, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £19,000 excluding VAT, or £22,800 including VAT. The contract covers the single BRE Evaluator requirement and the evaluation consultancy services associated with MHRA’s benefit–risk evaluation engagements. The outcome shows that the requirement was fulfilled through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender or multi-supplier award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of MHRA’s demand for specialist benefit–risk evaluation consultancy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to conduct structured evaluations for medicines or healthcare products, assess evidence on benefits and risks, and provide advice that supports regulatory decision-making. Relevant experience should include working with complex scientific, clinical or regulatory evidence and translating analysis into clear outputs for a public-sector regulator. The successful supplier was an SME consultancy, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large professional-services organisation. Familiarity with MHRA’s regulatory environment would strengthen a future proposition.
