Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed the procurement process for the 'RECRUIT TRAINEE SURVEY' project, which involves the ongoing survey of military trainees’ experiences during their initial and trade training. This contract, classified under survey services (CPV: 79311000), is set to operate from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029, with the final award notice published on 27th February 2025. The procurement method was based on a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The project’s value is £825,151, and it will be delivered at the postal code SP11 8HJ in England by IFF Research, a large-scale supplier based in London.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale survey and research service providers. The project’s long-term nature ensures a stable revenue stream until 2029. SMEs are recognised as suitable for this type of contract, although the current award has been made to a large supplier. Businesses specialising in survey services with the capability to handle continuous and comprehensive data collection and analysis would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. By participating in such tenders, companies can strengthen their expertise in the defence sector and expand their portfolio in public procurement projects.
