    Brief

    NICE is seeking a supplier to facilitate and conduct a comprehensive board effectiveness review (BER). This is a timely engagement following the appointment of a new Chief Executive in December 2025 and additional board appointments earlier that year. NICE last commissioned an external BER in 2023, with self-assessments completed in 2024 and 2025. The review must be conducted in accordance with Cabinet Office guidance. The supplier will be responsible for facilitating the review process, gathering feedback from board members, analyzing board performance and governance, and providing recommendations for improvement. Full requirements and evaluation criteria are detailed in the Invitation to Tender (ITT). This is an opportunity for experienced governance consultants to support the board at a pivotal time of organizational transition.
