UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barts Health NHS Trust is planning to procure independent evaluation consultancy services for the FIND Programme, a digital case-finding tool supporting patients with chronic kidney disease and other long-term conditions across North East London. The work will assess the programme’s delivery and impact through three annual evaluations covering the period from 2026/27 to 2028/29. This is a healthcare evaluation and research assignment rather than software development or direct clinical service delivery. It will suit organisations able to evaluate digital health interventions in an NHS or population-health setting, with a clear understanding of chronic disease pathways, patient outcomes and the needs of services operating across North East London. The buyer is Barts Health NHS Trust.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer is seeking market views before launching the planned procurement and has expressly stated that it is not yet a call for competition. The expected approach and detailed procedure have not been set out. Market engagement is being conducted through a written questionnaire, with responses expected by 25 September 2026 at 17:00. The buyer expects a further notice on 28 September 2026. The planned contract period is 1 December 2026 to 31 May 2029. The estimated value is £49,000 excluding VAT, or £58,800 including VAT. There is one planned lot, covering the full evaluation consultancy requirement, and the procurement is below the relevant threshold.

The work is likely to suit specialist evaluation consultancies, health-services researchers and digital-health organisations that can provide independent, evidence-based assessment of a technology-enabled healthcare programme. Relevant preparation would include experience designing and delivering repeated evaluations, analysing outcomes for people with chronic kidney disease or other long-term conditions, and assessing how digital case-finding tools affect patients and NHS services. Suppliers with capability in mixed-methods research, population-health analysis, stakeholder engagement and clear reporting for clinical and management audiences should be well placed. Experience working with NHS trusts, integrated care services or comparable public-sector health programmes would strengthen a response when the procurement reaches the market. The three-year evaluation cycle also favours teams able to maintain continuity and deliver successive annual assessments.
