Organised by the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, located in Bath, UK, this contract is set within the services category of the healthcare innovation industry. The opportunity aims to expand the real-world evaluation projects of Health Innovation West of England (HIWE) during the 2025/26 financial year. Significant milestones include a scheduled engagement due by 6th June 2025, with the contract commencement anticipated on 1st September 2025. The procurement method involves market engagement, highlighting a preliminary notice for interested parties. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in research services and health economics analysis. Firms adept in evaluation planning, data analysis, and environmental impact assessment will find this contract appealing. The opportunity spans an initial three-year term, with potential extensions, allowing businesses to forge long-term partnerships. Organisations capable of delivering collaborative evaluation projects that align with HIWE's mission to support innovation in health and social care systems will be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. ## Notice As outlined in the 2025/26 Local Implementation Plan (LIP) for the Office of Life Sciences (OLS) commission, Health Innovation West of England (HIWE) has set an ambitious target to significantly expand its portfolio of real-world evaluation projects, with the aim of initiating and progressing these during the current financial year. HIWE currently operates an internal Evaluation and Insights team that provides bespoke analytics and evaluation services to internal stakeholders. However, to support the delivery of our enhanced 2025/26 ambitions, we are seeking additional capacity through the appointment of an external partner. HIWE intends to rapidly appoint a third-party supplier or suppliers to provide evaluation and analytical support over an initial period of three years, with the potential to extend for two further periods of 12 months. If you are interested please email naveen.pitchumani@nhs.net. ### Planning Information Scope of Work Robust evaluation of products, technologies, and services within health and social care is essential to enable evidence-based decision-making and to determine which innovations are suitable for wider adoption and spread—an integral part of HIWE’s mission. We are seeking a supplier who can work collaboratively with HIWE to design and deliver real-world evaluation projects. These projects may vary in scope but will typically involve mixed-method approaches to assess whether innovations achieve their intended outcomes and benefits in practice. A key component of this work includes health economic analysis to determine the financial impact and value of innovations. The required services include, but are not limited to: 1. Evaluation planning, design and logic model development 2. Quantitative data analysis, including descriptive analysis, dashboard development and inferential statistics 3. Qualitative data analysis 4. Carbon benchmarking and analysis of environmental impact 5. Report and summary writing, tailored to different audiences 6. Health economics including budget impact modelling, cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. 7. This work will be carried out as a collaborative endeavour, with outputs designed to meet the needs of a range of stakeholders, including both innovators and health and care system partners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018337-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2025 - 31 Aug 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROYAL UNITED HOSPITALS BATH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BATH | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA1 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | Bath and North East Somerset | | Electoral ward | Newbridge | | Westminster constituency | Bath | | Delivery location | TLK12 Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 1 May 2025 at 10:44 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018337-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018337-2025 1st May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.ruh.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
