Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council commissioned market research services comprising a comprehensive 2026 resident survey and budget consultation survey, with flexible additional consultation and engagement support during the contract. The work is for the council and concerns residents in Exeter, England. The requirement combines survey design and delivery with the ability to provide further engagement support as needs arise during the contract period.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ENVENTURE RESEARCH LTD. The award date was 2 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £175,200, and the contract period runs from 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2027. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026. This was a services procurement; the recorded procedure detail is “Other”. The stated estimated tender value was also £175,200. No lots or evaluation criteria are reported in the process information.

This award shows Exeter City Council’s demand for a supplier able to deliver a comprehensive resident survey and a budget consultation survey, and to provide adaptable consultation and engagement support alongside the core research. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need relevant experience managing public-facing surveys and consultation, with the capacity to deliver both research and additional engagement work as requested. The successful supplier was an SME, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement indicates a combined research and engagement assignment for a local authority, rather than a survey-only commission; suppliers positioned to deliver both elements would be best aligned when this buyer next procures comparable work.
