## Summary

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust procured staff survey services covering four survey years from 2026 to 2029. The requirement is classified as human resources management consultancy, so it is relevant to organisations providing employee research, workforce feedback and related HR consultancy services. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust serving Dorset, with its stated address at Poole Hospital in Poole. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than separate service areas. The appointed provider is Picker Institute Europe, an organisation specialising in staff and patient research. Businesses with experience of designing, managing and reporting structured workforce surveys for healthcare organisations would be closest to the requirement, particularly where they can support a continuing programme rather than a single survey exercise.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot and attracted two bids, with two bids reaching the final stage; the published statistics record both final-stage bids as from SMEs and VCSEs. Picker Institute Europe was awarded the contract on 7 August 2026. The award value is £34,620 excluding VAT, or £41,544 including VAT. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 16 September 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. The procurement used a limited method, rather than an open competition, and was conducted under the below-threshold limited-competition route. The award covers the full staff survey requirement for the single lot.

This procurement shows an NHS foundation trust buying a multi-year staff survey and HR consultancy service at a scale suited to an established specialist provider, while the competition statistics show that smaller and voluntary-sector organisations also participated successfully in the final stage. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in workforce or employee surveys, including questionnaire design, secure data collection, analysis and clear reporting for NHS stakeholders. It would also need enough operational capacity to manage a programme spanning several survey cycles, maintain consistent methods and deliver reliable outputs over time. Experience of working with healthcare workforces, understanding staff engagement data and turning survey findings into useful organisational insight would strengthen a supplier’s position.
