The procurement was part of the GCA RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. The tender, titled "PS26022 - Survey on public attitudes to animal research," falls under the industry category of Survey Services (CPV code 79311000). Locations for delivery include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted via a selective process, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award stage, dated 29th June 2026, has been completed, resulting in BMG Research Ltd securing the contract valued at £108,250.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses skilled in survey services, particularly those experienced in the research sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with robust methodologies in conducting public opinion surveys can find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their portfolios. The focus on public attitudes to animal research suggests potential collaboration or subcontracting opportunities with organisations involved in the sciences or humanities. This procurement approach, using a dynamic purchasing system, can present future openings for qualified research firms to join the framework, thereby enhancing their business growth and market presence.
