## Summary

Nottingham City Council commissioned an external evaluation of the Local Drug Information System serving Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The requirement is a professional health services assignment focused on assessing how the system operates and the value it provides. The work concerns local drug-related information and its evaluation, rather than the supply of clinical treatment, medicines or general information technology. Nottingham City Council is the buying organisation. Delivery is associated with Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, within the East Midlands. The procurement was awarded to the University of Lincoln, indicating that the requirement is suited to organisations with expertise in independent evaluation, public health research and analysis of drug information systems. It was treated as a light-touch services procurement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition for one lot. The contract was awarded to the University of Lincoln on 1 January 2026. The contract was signed on 1 January 2026 and runs from 1 January 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £30,000 gross, and the procurement was below the relevant threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and the health-services classification, but do not set out an award-criteria weighting or a detailed evaluation formula. The requirement was handled through a limited route rather than an open competition, under the light-touch regime.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award provides a clear indication of Nottingham City Council’s demand for external evaluation of a local drug information system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in public health evaluation, drug-related data and information systems, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and producing impartial findings for public-sector decision-makers. Experience of working with councils, local partnerships or health and social care organisations would help establish credibility, particularly where the assignment requires understanding local drug trends and service intelligence. Suppliers should also be able to manage a defined evaluation project independently, engage relevant stakeholders professionally, analyse evidence rigorously and present practical conclusions in a form that public bodies can use.
