## Summary

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), located in Manchester, UK, has completed the procurement process for organising the 'NICE Conference 2027-29'. This contract, tagged as services and falling under the industry category of event services, was awarded through a direct procurement method owing to an unsuccessful open tender. The awarded contractor, Political Engagement Ltd, will commence the contract on 14th September 2026, with the contract period running until 31st December 2029. Key dates include the scheduled signature of the contract by 5th September 2026. This procurement process was driven by the need for a high-quality event that appeals to various stakeholders, including delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors from the health, pharmaceutical, and healthtech sectors.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in event management services, particularly those experienced in organising large-scale and high-profile industry conferences. The role involves not only the logistical organisation but also significant engagement with influential stakeholders, which can benefit companies looking to strengthen their presence and connections within the health and pharmaceutical sectors. SMEs are particularly encouraged, as the contract specified suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful contractor will also have the chance to expand their portfolio by associating with a renowned public authority like NICE, potentially leading to further opportunities in the public sector.

## Notice

NICE requires a contractor to work closely with to develop a high-quality event which is attractive to delegates, sponsors and exhibitors: drawing on speakers from across NICE's executive team, our partner organisations in health and care and the pharmaceutical and healthtech industries. This will be a profit-making opportunity for the successful contractor. But they will also have sole financial responsibility for the NICE Conference. The contract will commence in September/October 2026, with work beginning immediately in preparation for the 2027 event.
