## Summary

Hartlepool Borough Council has awarded a contract titled "Research into Childhood Immunisation - Engagement and Co-production" under the public authority of sub-central government category. The procurement method followed was direct, below threshold and was settled without competition due to time constraints defined by the Integrated Care Board (ICB). Teesside University, based in Middlesbrough, has been selected as the service provider to conduct this research, utilising their existing knowledge and work with local families. The contract, valued at £12,500 net, was signed on 26th August 2025 and is set to commence on 1st September 2025, concluding on 31st January 2026.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for educational institutions and organisations involved in research services, particularly those with a background in public health and community engagement. Businesses within the research services industry, especially those capable of quick mobilisation and engagement within tight timelines, would be well-suited for similar tenders. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of cultivating relationships with local councils and public health teams to become preferred suppliers when exemption processes are applied, which can bypass traditional tender exercises.

## Notice

Exemption Process used. The Integrated Care Board (ICB) has recently given grant approval for 2 stages. This has meant that the timeframe to commission a provider to complete the engagement work has drastically reduced and timelines to complete the work and spend the grant has meant we need to use an existing provider, which is Teesside University to complete the work. The timeframes issued by the ICB have not allowed enough time to complete a tender exercise and is therefore an exemption from the contract tender process. The Public Health Team are satisfied with the work to date and given their knowledge of families in the project and the whole background are happy to use Teesside University to continue this work.
