Situated in Bath, United Kingdom, this procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting research services. Currently, the process is in the planning stage, with key engagement dates including a due date of 6th June 2025 for completing preliminary evaluations. Interested parties should note that the procurement method involves seeking collaborative engagement for real-world evaluation projects in health and social care, crucial for the Local Implementation Plan of 2025/26.

## 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.
