## Summary

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust procured services to deliver the national NHS Staff Survey. The requirement covers staff survey work and associated research services for the Trust, with delivery in South East England. It is a public-sector healthcare research opportunity rather than a supply of equipment, construction or clinical treatment. The procurement was arranged as one completed lot. The selected provider, Picker Institute Europe, is an Oxford-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in understanding people’s experiences of health and care services. Businesses with relevant experience in staff engagement surveys, workforce research, questionnaire design, survey administration, data analysis and reporting for NHS or other public-sector organisations would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Picker Institute Europe received the award for the completed lot on 3 August 2026. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2029. Its value is £16,505.20 excluding VAT, or £19,806.24 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers research services connected with the staff survey. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. The award relates to the research services classification CPV 73110000. Picker Institute Europe is the sole named awarded supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates established demand from Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust for structured NHS workforce feedback and research services delivered at modest public-sector scale. A credible future competitor would need to design and run staff surveys reliably, manage communications with NHS employees, protect respondent confidentiality, analyse quantitative and qualitative feedback, and turn findings into clear reports that healthcare managers can use. Experience with national or NHS staff surveys, health and care research methods, robust data handling, accessible reporting and engagement with public-sector stakeholders would strengthen a future offer. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large consultancy.
