The contract value is £131,180 GBP, with a contract period starting from September 13, 2023, and ending on February 26, 2024. The tender deadline was on August 10, 2023. NICE, located in London, England, initiated this process in the research services category. This tender process presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the research services sector to engage in public dialogue initiatives with NICE. Businesses that specialize in public engagement, deliberative dialogue facilitation, and research services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. NICE aims to use the outcomes of these dialogues to inform their work and address challenging topics effectively, creating potential for growth and collaboration within the industry. ## Notice NICE has introduced a process for deliberative public engagement: NICE Listens. Whilst performing a similar function to our previous Citizens Council, it offers a more flexible format which can be tailored to different topics and timescales. It complements our existing mechanisms for public engagement but is used to address particularly challenging topics. The first NICE Listens project on health inequalities was carried out between September 2021 and January 2022. The second NICE Listens project on environmental sustainability in healthcare was carried out between September 2022 and February 2023. The final reports from these projects can be found on the NICE Listens page of the NICE website. Each time a topic is identified by NICE as being suitable for NICE Listens a similar process will occur: A suitable independent external contractor will be selected (as per NICE procurement processes) to support the recruitment for, design, set-up, facilitation and evaluation (if required) of a NICE Listens public dialogue. NICE staff will work with the successful contractor to design and develop the public dialogue. The terms 'public dialogue' and 'dialogue' are used interchangeably here and act as general terms to cover the activities that will form the NICE Listens project, including the meetings with the public and any other activities in between. The term "meeting" is used to describe the sessions with the public, rather than describing a specific methodology. This public dialogue will be supported by Sciencewise and as such the methodology will be in accordance with the Sciencewise Guiding Principles and Quality Framework. The contractor will recruit and support an appropriate sample of the public to participate in the dialogue. The size, format and duration of each public dialogue will vary depending on the topic. It is expected, however, that participants will have the opportunity to hear from and cross-examine expert speakers, review relevant case studies and vignettes, engage in discussion and deliberation in both plenary and small group sessions to explore others' points of view, and consider trade-offs carefully. NICE does not expect the group to necessarily reach a consensus. Rather, it wishes to understand the reasons and values behind any divergent conclusions that may be reached. The successful contractor will feedback on the group's conclusions via a written report or an alternative format (agreed in advance). The findings will inform various aspects of NICE's work. The contractor may be asked to help present the results at relevant meetings. Suppliers will be invited through the RM6126 - Research & Insights DPS framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a5de560-ddea-4620-a191-353c97d73ccc | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 12 Sep 2023 - 26 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £131,180 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £131,180 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | C M MONITOR (BRITAIN THINKS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 16 Nov 2023 at 17:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a5de560-ddea-4620-a191-353c97d73ccc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a5de560-ddea-4620-a191-353c97d73ccc 16th November 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/2d738fb8-74bd-4852-9a6b-e96d92787b11 Redacted signed awarded contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
