## Summary

The Department of Health has recently completed the procurement process for the NIHR Evaluations, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC). The contract was awarded on 18th May 2017, with a total value of approximately £77.4 million. This is part of a wider initiative involving several contracts aimed at enhancing research infrastructure and services within the UK. The contract period runs from 31st March 2018 to 31st March 2023. This selective procurement process was executed via a negotiated procedure, providing further opportunities through related work strands in research and development services, primarily located in England but with delivery addresses extending internationally.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in research and development services, consultancy, and other related services as positioned under the CPV classifications. With a high-value contract and a focus on health and research, businesses with a proven track record in these sectors, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale projects and collaborations, would be well suited to participate in future opportunities generated by the NIHR’s research initiatives. As the Department of Health continues to advance its objectives through various research frameworks, there remain ample opportunities for businesses to position themselves as key contributors to national health improvement efforts.
