Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, acting on behalf of the Cabinet Office, has awarded a contract for the Provision of Services for the Employee Insight Programme to IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd. This contract pertains to research services within the CPV classification 73110000 and will have a significant focus on further developing the Civil Service People Survey over a period of two years, concluding on 30th June 2028. The total value of the contract is £1,603,681.20, and the procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The process reached the award stage with the decision formalized on 1st July 2026. The services are to be delivered in London, United Kingdom.

This contracting process presents opportunities for businesses in the research services sector, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive and insightful survey analyses. While the current opportunity has been awarded to IPSOS, companies experienced in managing large-scale public sector research projects could find potential in future engagements of a similar nature staged by the Government Commercial Agency. Large businesses with substantial capabilities in market analysis and those positioned within the dynamics of public service research would be well-suited to participate in similar tenders to support government projects aimed at improving civil service operations.
