Summary of the contracting process

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has finalised the FRA083 Research Analyst Framework, seeking high-quality research analyst services for qualitative, quantitative, and modelling research. This framework has been established to conclusively support WRAP's projects and programmes. The awards were confirmed with several suppliers, such as Axion Solutions Ltd and the University of Exeter, across three primary lots: Qualitative Research and Insight Generation, Quantitative Research and Advanced Analysis, and Economic, Financial, and Systems Modelling. The procurement method followed an open procedure, and the contracts, active as of 10 February 2026, will continue until 25 January 2028. Key areas addressed include research and development services within the United Kingdom.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in non-numerical data interpretation, numerical data analysis, and modelling impacts. SMEs are well-positioned to contribute, with many awards favouring smaller enterprises like Axion Solutions Ltd and GC Insight Ltd. Given the diverse requirements across the three lots, companies offering competitive analysis, qualitative insights, and advanced modelling techniques can benefit significantly, participating in a robust framework aimed at enhancing WRAP's strategic initiatives. These procurement opportunities directly align with business growth through tailored service offerings in qualitative, quantitative, and analytical research domains.
