The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) would like to recruit a conference organiser/agency to plan, produce and deliver all aspects of its conference for three years: 2027, 2028 and 2029 (subject to change) . The contractor will work closely with NICE to develop a high-quality event which is attractive to delegates, sponsors and exhibitors, drawing on speakers from across NICE’s executive team, our partner organisations in health and social care and the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries. This will be a profit-making opportunity for the successful contractor. But they will also have sole financial responsibility for the NICE Conference. The contract will commence in September/October 2026, with work beginning immediately in preparation for the 2027 event.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Event services (79952000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 79 | 4,156 | 3 median · 33.8 average (1,108 of 4,156 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (1,242 of 4,156 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 499 | 4 median · 6.4 average (27 of 499 with a bid count) | 1.1 average (27 of 499 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
