Summary of the contracting process

The Charity Commission for England and Wales commissioned independent research into the charity sector’s impact-reporting landscape following updated SORP requirements. The work covers current reporting practices, key challenges, support needs and opportunities for improvement. Its purpose is to produce evidence-based recommendations to help charities strengthen impact reporting, support trustee compliance, and inform how the Commission publishes and presents impact information through its public register and digital services. This is a research services contract, delivered for the Commission across the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to research consultancies, charity-sector specialists, policy researchers and organisations experienced in analysing regulatory or reporting practice and translating findings into practical recommendations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TPX Impact Limited on 13 July 2026. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. Its awarded value is £200,000 including the stated currency of GBP; the original estimated value range was £163,650 to £200,000. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 May 2026 at 12:00pm. The award is active and covers the full research requirement rather than separately identified lots. The Charity Commission for England and Wales is the buyer. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the contract category is services.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of the Charity Commission’s demand for specialist evidence and advice on charity reporting. Suppliers competing for similar work for this buyer would need credible experience in independent research, preferably involving charities, trustees, regulators, accounting or reporting requirements. They would need to design and deliver robust sector research, identify common practices and barriers, engage relevant stakeholders, and turn findings into practical, evidence-based recommendations. The ability to understand updated SORP requirements and their implications for impact reporting would be important, as would communicating clearly how research findings could improve regulatory compliance, public information and digital services. A small or medium-sized research organisation could be well placed to compete.
