Details of our work programmes and examples of the guidelines can be found on the NICE website ([nice.org.uk](https://www.nice.org.uk)). In NICE the Public Health and Social Care Centre (PH&SCC) is responsible for producing public health and social care guidelines. Guidelines on public health topics make recommendations on local interventions that can help prevent disease or improve health. The guideline may focus on a particular topic (such as smoking), a particular population (such as schoolchildren) or a particular setting (such as the workplace). Social care guidelines aim to improve outcomes for people who use social care support by ensuring that social care services and interventions are effective and cost-effective. They do this by making recommendations about best practice, drawn from current evidence-based research. NICE wishes to appoint a new Public Health and Social Care Economic and Methodological Unit (EMU) to be operational from April 2016. This EMU will assist guideline developers and the PH&SCC technical team in meeting the economic and methodological needs of the Public Health and Social Care Centre. The new EMU will work with staff in the Public Health and Social Care Centre to produce economic analyses (including cost utility analyses, cost benefit analyses, cost consequence analyses, cost impact and threshold analyses) upon which Guideline Committees of NICE will base their future recommendations. Additionally, the EMU will work with NICE to produce other methodological products. The EMU will be a multidisciplinary team, capable of providing high quality analyses to decision makers within very tight deadlines. PH&SCC welcomes tenders for this work from individual organisations or consortia of organisations. Where an organisation joins with a partner/consortia to submit a joint proposal, in line with public sector best practice, NICE will only contract with the lead bidding organisation. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for high calibre teams to contribute to guideline economic work and methodological development for NICE products.
