## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is currently in the tender stage for an open procurement process aimed at finding an external and independent evaluator for the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC). This project comes under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a CPV classification of 73000000. The contract is valued at £75,000 and seeks services to be rendered in England. Key dates include a tender period ending on 26th February 2025 and the contract is set to start on 1st April 2025 and end on 31st March 2030.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in research, evaluation, and consultancy services. Businesses with expertise in public health research and evaluation can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio and establish a working relationship with a large local authority. The open procedure being adopted makes it accessible for qualified SMEs to compete, providing significant potential for business growth in the public health domain.

## Notice

Local government has been increasingly involved in public health research in recent years. One example of this is the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Leicestershire County Council is one of 30 HDRCs that have been funded by the NIHR across the UK. We require an external and independent evaluator to provide an objective assessment of Leicestershire's HDRC delivery against its aim and advise us on ways of ensuring our success.
