Reports from the Citizens Council have been used to inform the NICE Principles and are reflected in our evaluation methods and decision frameworks. NICE and the wider health and social care landscape are changing. In addition to the long-term impacts of COVID-19, transformative innovation is underway in healthcare services, technologies and regulatory science, and within NICE itself. These changes will throw up challenging moral, ethical and social value issues that NICE will need to address. In light of these challenges, NICE is introducing a new process for deliberative public engagement: NICE Listens. Whilst performing a similar function to our previous Citizen Council, it will offer a more flexible format which can be tailored to different topics and timescales.

The group should be from the general public and be representative of the adult population of England (those aged 18+).

The successful contractor will feedback on the group's conclusions via a written report. This will be presented to the Institute's Executive Team, Board and published on the NICE website. The findings will inform various aspects of NICE's work. It is envisaged that each NICE Listens topic will form a standalone event and that for each new topic a new recruitment process for participants in NICE Listens will take place Read full description ## CPV classification Research services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/6b221020-a3a8-4334-a774-7931018447ab) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
