## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has published a tender titled "Research participant incentive (Gift cards)" in the goods category, for the provision of gift cards to encourage participation in health-related research studies. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with a tender period ending on October 30, 2023, and a contract period starting on November 27, 2023, lasting until November 26, 2035. The procurement method is an Open procedure (above threshold), and the tender is open for SMEs.

This procurement opportunity with the UK Health Security Agency offers businesses the chance to supply gift cards for vulnerable social groups involved in health research studies. Companies in the market research services industry, particularly those specialised in providing incentives for research participation, are well-suited to compete. The contract duration is flexible, with an initial 1-year term and the possibility of extensions up to a total of twelve years or until the maximum value of £1m is reached, providing a long-term opportunity for business growth in this niche sector.

## Notice

To encourage the participation of vulnerable underrepresented social groups in health related research studies, the Agency is seeking a supplier of gift cards that can be redeemed with multiple high street retailors, particularly budget retailors, by vulnerable groups, for whom e-vouchers would not be an accessible incentive. The duration of this contract will be for an initial 1 year with the option to extend three times (3+3+5). Extensions will be dependent on the feasibility and value for money during each term. The duration of this Contract shall be no longer than twelve (12) years in total or until the maximum value of PS1m (excl. VAT) is consumed. However, no new cards will be purchased during the last 2 years.
