Summary of the contracting process

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Consumer Confidence and Control," which falls under the industry category of market and economic research, polling, and statistics. The focus is on understanding public attitudes towards personal data management within the AdTech ecosystem. This selective procurement was executed through a call-off from the CCS Research & Insights DPS (RM6126). The project, valued at £97,323.60, is set to run from 1st November 2025 to 31st March 2026, with Behavioural Insights Ltd awarded the contract as the supplier. This contract takes place in the United Kingdom, and the award was made active on 12th January 2026.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in consumer research and data analysis, particularly those familiar with the dynamics of the AdTech industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), stand a good chance of succeeding in such procurement processes due to the ICO's demonstrated openness to such entities. Companies with expertise in market research and those capable of executing detailed polling and statistical analysis are well-suited to engage with similar tenders to expand their business footprint in the public sector.
