The procurement process, under the industry category of Research Services (CPV code 73110000), and valued at £88,500 GBP, was completed through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Key dates included the tender period ending on 6 January 2025, and the contract period spanning from 30 January 2025 to 30 January 2026, covering various locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those adept in stakeholder engagement, role evaluation, and benchmarking. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities due to its suitability criteria, though larger firms such as Incomes Data Research, who were ultimately awarded the contract, are also competitive candidates. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate business growth by establishing strong relationships with public sector buyers and enhancing portfolios with significant projects in the healthcare and research sectors.
