Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office, located in London, has completed the awarding stage of the "Cibyl Graduate Research 2025" contract. This procurement process, involving recruitment services under the industry category with CPV code 79600000, aimed at supporting employers in data-driven brand and hiring strategy for graduate attraction. The contract, with a financial value of £17,994, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a limited, competitive quotation, below the threshold. While the tender status is complete, the sourcing and surveying for this contract primarily concerned students across the UK, with the research focused on delivering key insights into diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies in marketing campaigns.

This opportunity could be highly beneficial for businesses specializing in recruitment services, data analytics, and marketing, particularly those capable of conducting large-scale surveys and delivering strategic insights.

The awarding to "Target Jobs part of GTI Media," an SME, underscores a strong market for nimble firms adept at addressing specific, data-driven objectives within tight budgetary confines.
