This study aims to analyse suicide rates among service leavers from 1996 to 2017 and to factor in various vulnerabilities and exposures. The tender process has concluded, having ended on 12th February 2020, with the awarded contract value set at £245,565, and the contract period running from 24th February 2020 to 24th February 2023. The award notice was published on 16th February 2020. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research services, particularly those specialising in mental health analysis, statistical data interpretation, and related fields. Companies that have robust experience in conducting academic research, especially with a focus on public health or veteran affairs, would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. The study's comprehensive research requirements highlight the demand for expertise in evaluating complex social issues, making it a relevant opportunity for organisations aiming to expand their operations within public sector contracts. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Short Description Instead of: Defence Statistics, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to place a contract with The University of Manchester (the University) to update the research undertaken between MOD and Manchester University in 2009, to include a further 12 years of data on Service leavers. The study is to understand the rate, timing and risk factors for suicide for those who have left the UK Armed Forces between 1996-2017. The study will include analysis of data in the Confidential Inquiry into Suicides and Mental health as well as a review of coroner's records and inquest hearings for the veteran suicides identified to provide more detail of the antecedents of suicide (particularly early and recent vulnerabilities, in-service exposures, difficulties after discharge, living circumstances, and contact with a variety of health and third sector providers).
