Published requirement description

Lot 1 - The NJR Annual Report

The NJR Annual Report is a formal NHS England report that presents a statistical analysis of the performance of procedures collected over the preceding 12 months alongside analysis of data over the life of the registry to enable understanding of long-term performance. The report has been produced annually for the past 22 years.

As the report is a statistical presentation of the analyses of data, it consists mainly of tables and graphical figures, illustrating outcome performance, with accompanying explanatory text.

We are asking bidders of design and layout services that have the capability to prepare a report of this complexity to tender to deliver the services, for the next three years, with the aspirational potential to extend the contract for a further two years.

There are also some other associated documents - separate report appendices and hospital reports - as well as a Welsh translation of key report parts; for these we would discuss annually with the supplier what is included in the work.

Aims and objectives of the services to be contracted

The NJR seeks to commission an agency to design and produce the NJR Annual Report and report-associated supplementary documents. This is an annual project involving the layout range of documents which are listed below. There is also a link to a live website below, where the supplier can see the NJR Annual Report 2025, to view the most recently produced versions of all documents.

The total contract value for Lot 1 is £80,000.00 excluding VAT for the duration of three years with potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years at a value of up to £26,500.00 per year.
