## Summary

NHS England is commissioning a social research and health services project to improve measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccination uptake in Somali communities. The appointed supplier will work with Somali communities and key stakeholders to co-produce, pilot and evaluate interventions. The scope includes mapping at least five priority interventions, informed by one-to-one semi-structured interviews, focus groups and workshops. This is a public health and community research commission, suited to organisations able to combine qualitative research, stakeholder engagement, intervention design and evaluation. The work is commissioned by NHS England, based in London, and concerns engagement and delivery with Somali communities; the procurement data does not identify a separate delivery address.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 3 September 2026 at 5:00pm, and bids by 11 September 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are assessed on quality and social value, weighted at 80%, with commercial considerations weighted at 20%. Bids are submitted electronically through the Atamis e-tendering portal, and suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform if they have not already done so.

This opportunity suits an experienced supplier with a track record in social or public health research involving communities and stakeholders. Competitors will need the capability to design and facilitate one-to-one semi-structured interviews, focus groups and workshops, then turn the findings into at least five prioritised interventions. The requirement also calls for piloting and evaluating those interventions, so relevant skills in intervention development, community engagement, qualitative analysis, delivery planning and impact evaluation are important. Suppliers should be able to work effectively with Somali communities and build trusted relationships with key stakeholders. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist research, health improvement and community organisations.
