Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has recently completed the procurement process for the "HSE Research, Evaluation & Insight (REI) Framework - Lot B" within the industry category of Research and Development Services (CPV 73000000). This tender was carried out using a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system (GCA DPS RM6126). The process reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to VERIAN GROUP UK LTD for qualitative research and secondary analysis services. The contract will cover the regions of England, Scotland, and Wales, commencing on 15 June 2026 and concluding on 14 June 2028. The award was officially published on 15 July 2026, and the total value of the contract is GBP 1,600,000.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those experienced in qualitative and secondary analysis. The focus on structured frameworks implies that established companies, especially larger enterprises capable of handling extensive research projects, are well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future. Furthermore, although the current tender is complete, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable, highlighting potential future opportunities for smaller firms looking to collaborate or participate in such frameworks. As the HSE focuses on comprehensive research and evaluation, businesses offering innovative and robust research solutions are likely to benefit from engaging with contracts of this nature.
