## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency is looking for a supplier to provide gift cards aimed at encouraging vulnerable social groups to participate in health-related research studies. The contract will initially last for 1 year, with the possibility of three extensions. The tender is classified under market research services, with a deadline for submission on 18th December 2023. The contract period is set to start on 5th February 2024 and potentially run until 4th February 2036, with a total value capped at £1 million (excl. VAT).

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing market research services, particularly those able to supply gift cards redeemable at various high street retailers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on engaging with underrepresented social groups. Interested parties can register and apply via the Atamis e-sourcing portal to participate in this open procedure tender.

## 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. This opportunity was previously advertised but not awarded. Minor amendments have been made to the assessment, pricing and page limits.
