Summary of the contracting process

The purchasing body, Scottish Natural Heritage, located in Inverness, United Kingdom, recently completed the procurement process titled "People Engagement Surveys." This tender, classified under survey design services, sought to develop an integrated approach for capturing employee opinions through surveys. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure, and the contract award was finalised on 29th July 2025, with a contract value of £36,000 awarded to Peachy Mondays. Although the initial tender had a submission deadline of 8th May 2025, the tender stage is now complete, and the contract is active.
