Tender description

NICE seeks to commission external assessment centre (EAC) services to support a variety of technology evaluation programmes from 1.4.2018 for a period of three years in the first instance. More information on NICE's programmes can be found at: http://www.nice.org.uk/ NICE's technology evaluation programmes require a range of high quality HTA services from organisations with knowledge of novel technologies, the life sciences industry and novel research methodologies. NICE uses its non-drug technology programmes to develop guidance on the value of new and novel device, diagnostic and digital technologies that have the potential to offer substantial benefit to patients and/or the NHS, and on the safety and efficacy of interventional procedures. NICE facilitates collaborative research involving industry, academia and the NHS to generate evidence on the clinical utility or longer term use of selected technologies. NICE also provides specialist observational data collection and analysis services. NICE also develops technology appraisals guidance which contains recommendations on the use of new and existing medicines and treatments within the NHS. To be provided at the workshop.
