## Summary

UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, has completed a direct award contract without competition for evaluating and developing evidence for the Melo - Dementia Pathway. The notice indicates that this procurement process falls under the 'services' category, with a focus on research services, and does not involve a call for competition due to a lack of reasonable alternatives. The contract, valued at £10,000 net (or £12,000 gross), was awarded to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Health Innovation North West Coast (HINWC) and will run from 8 December 2025 until 1 September 2026. This project is situated within the UK and follows the legal basis set by the UKPGA 2023 legislation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses within the health and research services industries to engage in evidence-based development projects. Companies that specialise in health innovation, especially those focusing on dementia care pathways, could see considerable growth and expansion by aligning with such initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in healthcare research and development are well-suited to participate in similar future tenders, as they can leverage their niche expertise to deliver high-impact projects in collaboration with public sector entities like UK Research and Innovation.
