The work is intended to inform programme development and preparation for a future procurement. The scope brings together feasibility and analysis, engineering and construction advice, procurement consultancy, and business and management consultancy. Delivery is described as covering the United Kingdom. This is at the planning stage: the MHRA is conducting preliminary market engagement through a Request for Information, not inviting tenders. It expects to publish a future procurement notice on 2 December 2026. The RFI engagement milestone is scheduled for 11 November 2026. The estimated contract period is 25 January to 30 July 2027. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The procurement is presented as a single lot, with the lot marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No procedure or evaluation approach is set out at this stage. The work is likely to suit consultancies and advisory firms able to provide independent assurance across technical, commercial and procurement matters, including organisations with relevant feasibility, engineering, procurement and management consultancy expertise. The MHRA is seeking input that can shape the MARRS programme and inform how a later procurement is prepared. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for the single lot, so firms of that scale may be relevant as lead providers or as contributors to a broader advisory team. The current engagement is for market input; suppliers can use it to consider whether their capabilities align with the work anticipated in the later procurement. ## Notice Preliminary market engagement - Request for Information (RFI) for provision of independent technical, commercial and procurement assurance and advisory support to inform the development of the MARRS programme and preparation for future procurement.
