Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has recently completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Childcare Experiences Survey Vouchers" under the industry category of Research and Development Services. With a contract value of £90,000, this selective procurement process involved a call-off from a framework agreement. Geographically, the delivery areas cover various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement stage was finalised on 24th July 2025, with the contract period extending from 29th May 2025 to 28th May 2028.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although it was awarded to a large supplier, Reward Gateway (UK) Limited. Companies specialising in managing voucher schemes and offering innovative solutions in research and development could find potential growth opportunities in similar public sector contracts. The broad regional coverage also suggests possibilities for regional service providers to expand their market footprint by participating in such selective procurement frameworks orchestrated by public bodies like the Department for Education.
