## Summary

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has awarded a contract for a Staff Engagement Survey Service to HIVEHR LIMITED, based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This contract is part of NICE's ongoing commitment to enhancing workplace engagement and inclusion, offering surveys from September 2025 to September 2028. As a central government public authority based in Manchester, NICE sought an experienced partner through an open competition below the threshold. The procurement method aimed to select the most economically advantageous tender focusing equally on quality and cost, with full procurement details accessed via the Atamis e-sourcing portal. The official award notice was published on 16th March 2026.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social research services, particularly those experienced in staff research and data analysis. It creates growth prospects for small or medium enterprises, given its suitability for SMEs. Businesses capable of providing secure and anonymous platforms for survey delivery, alongside comprehensive analysis, will find this a strategic growth opportunity. Such a programme offers the suppliers chances to implement innovative solutions and methodologies, align with public sector requirements, and establish long-term partnerships with influential government organisations like NICE.

## Notice

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is seeking a supplier to deliver a three-year programme of staff engagement and inclusion surveys. The contract will run from September 2025 to September 2028, with a total budget of PS51,000 (excluding VAT). The successful supplier will be responsible for designing and administering annual engagement and inclusion surveys for approximately 850 staff, alongside optional pulse surveys. Surveys must be delivered via a secure and anonymous platform and provide meaningful analysis segmented by directorate and other relevant groups. Key metrics such as WRES and WDES indicators must be maintained, while allowing flexibility for evolving and topical questions. NICE is looking for a partner with proven expertise in staff research, data analysis, and reporting, who can support actionable insight and continuous improvement. The first survey is expected to launch in December 2025.
