This procurement falls under the services category and is classified as research and development services, with a budget of £30 million. The procurement method chosen is an open procedure, and interested parties have until 27 July 2021 to submit their bids. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2022 and conclude by 31 March 2028, with services being delivered in the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations involved in health technology assessment, systematic reviewing, and health economics. Companies that specialise in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in developing guidelines and delivering training, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The multidisciplinary nature of the guidelines being developed allows for a range of businesses to leverage their skills, particularly those in the voluntary and community sector, which have been identified as eligible participants in this procurement process. ## Notice NICE makes evidence-based recommendations on a wide range of topics, from preventing and managing specific conditions, improving health, and managing medicines in different settings, to providing social care and support to adults and children, and planning broader services and interventions to improve the health of communities. NICE will commission the development of guidelines from two Guideline Development Centres. Each Guideline Development Centre will comprise a multidisciplinary team of people led by a Director. The team will require expertise in guideline development; this should include expertise in methods of health technology assessment, systematic reviewing, complex analysis (e.g. network meta-analyses, operational research), health economics, project management and information searching and retrieval. The technical staff should be skilled at assessing, analysing and interpreting alternative data sources including qualitative studies, mixed methods evidence and 'real-world evidence'. Each Guideline Development Centre should also be capable of providing training and support to its staff and its guideline committees.
