Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of reputational monitoring and research services, spanning a 4-year contract. The contract was awarded to IPSOS MORI UK LIMITED on 4th June 2026, with the service set to commence from 8th June 2026 until 7th June 2030. The project, classified under Research and Development Consultancy Services, will take place across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and Midlands, among others. This contract was procured via a selective method as a catalogue purchase and primarily targets services within the industry classification of CPV 73200000, with an additional focus on research consultancy services.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in research and development consultation. While a large-scale operation, IPSOS MORI, secured this tender, the process highlights the opening for SMEs, as the tender explicitly indicates suitability for such enterprises. Businesses excelling in conducting large-scale, longitudinal studies, and those with technological capabilities to manage comprehensive online surveys, would find this contract particularly beneficial for enhancing their portfolio and industry standing in the public sector consultancy space.
