A voluntary ex ante transparency notice 2015/S 182-330829 has been published for this requirement. The contracting authority is using the negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and Regulation 32(2) (b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In the alternative the contracting authority is relying upon the exemptions from a prior call for competition under Regulation 72(1)(b) as the services cannot for technical and economic reasons be provided by another supplier without causing significant inconvenience to the contracting authority. The National Infant Physical Examination (Newborn Screening Programme) was commissioned by the University of Manchester in 2009 as a managed service with all intellectual property vesting in Northgate (the supplier).

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is procuring an agency (or agency-led consortium) to undertake a four-year research project on 'Audience Measures'.
HSE does not currently have a comprehensive approach to understanding issues of health and safety (H&S) need and impact from employers and employees' perspectives. This project will develop audience-focused evidence to shape HSE strategic direction. For example: to track the degree to which HSE reaches/influences target audiences; to provide senior leaders with data on impact and outcomes; and to inform operational resource allocation.
