Summary of the contracting process

The recent concluded procurement process titled "Forrester Research Advisory Services" was managed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). This contract falls within the subscription services industry category and was awarded through a selective process using a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was active from 30th March 2026, with the procurement stage marked as complete. It covers a broad geographical area including the United Kingdom and other regions. The total value of the contract is £54,069.29, with the contract period extending from 30th March 2026 to 29th March 2027. The procurement process was initiated as a tender and involved advisory services provided by Forrester Research Ltd.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for growth in the advisory services sector, particularly for organisations capable of providing subscription-based research services. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically highlighted as suitable for this contract, companies with expertise in research advisory services could find such procurement processes beneficial. The commitment to a contract period spanning one year indicates a stable demand for these services, making it an attractive venture for businesses with established capabilities in comprehensive advisory and subscription services. Ensuring engagement and collaboration with large governmental bodies like DEFRA could prove advantageous for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in similar future tenders.
