Summary of the contracting process

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has awarded a contract titled "Contract for The Evaluation of the Impact of Business Rates Appeals Reform on Customer Experience," focusing on market and economic research. This initiative is part of a broader reform of the business rates appeals system scheduled to roll out in April 2017. The contract period spans from 3rd November 2016 to 28th December 2018, with the tender having been completed as of 29th July 2016. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, allowing a wide range of participatory suppliers.

This project presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in market and economic research, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As the new system will directly affect business rates customers and their representatives, firms that can provide analytical insights and assess customer experiences related to the appeals process will be well-positioned to compete. With an evaluation aimed at understanding the system's impact, suppliers that can demonstrate expertise in customer experience analytics and reform assessment will likely find valuable opportunities within this contract.
