Summary of the contracting process

Qualifications Wales, a sub-central government public authority based in Newport, UK, has concluded the award stage of a tender process titled "Public Opinions Survey," under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000). The award was made on 21 July 2025 to Beaufort Research Limited, and the contract spans from 21 July 2025 to 20 July 2031, with an option to extend until 2033. This contract involves conducting biennial surveys to measure public confidence in non-degree qualifications in Wales. The procurement was conducted via an open competition under Welsh devolved regulations, focusing on service provision below the financial threshold.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for research firms, particularly those specialising in public opinion surveys and analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in delivering detailed survey analysis and a presence in the Welsh region are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Expertise in survey methodologies and data analytics, alongside adherence to public procurement policies such as Cyber Essentials Plus certification or ISO 27001, would enhance a business's eligibility and success in this sector.
