Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), represented by ICS, recently completed the procurement process titled "DESNZ COMMUNICATIONS MARKET RESEARCH". This contract, valued at £3,000,000, is classified under research consultancy services and will facilitate services such as public polling and communications testing across multiple regions including the United Kingdom and Europe. The procurement followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award taking place on 8th September 2025. The contractual obligations for the awarded supplier, Yonder Consulting Limited, a large-scale company located in London, are set to commence on 9th September 2025 and conclude on 9th September 2028.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for large consultancy firms specialising in communications and market research. The extensive scope of services required, from behavioural science applications to advanced analytics, demands expertise suitable to support the intricate needs of government communication strategies. Although smaller enterprises and voluntary sector organisations may find the scale challenging, larger establishments stand to gain from this substantial research endeavour, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with public sector entities. Those with a strong capacity for conducting comprehensive, international research would be well-suited to similar opportunities in the future.
