Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Nest Corporation, a sub-central government public authority in London, pertains to the project titled "Member Deliberative Assembly". This process, classified under the services industry category with research services as a focus, was executed through an open competition method, falling below the procurement threshold. Initially active from the tender phase, which commenced on 28th July 2025 with an enquiry period terminating on 11th August 2025 and a submission deadline of 26th August 2025, it proceeded to the award phase, completed on 13th October 2025. The project location is primarily in London, and it involves managing participant onboarding and facilitation during the assembly, scheduled to publish outcomes by May 2026. The next procurement stage has resulted in the awarding of the contract to Shared Future Community Interest Company, based in Manchester, valued at £114,571.20, to be active from 7th October 2025 to 29th May 2026, with a possible six-month extension.

This tender creates opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs engaged in research services. Companies with experience in implementing deliberative processes and those capable of participant management, event facilitation, and subsequent analysis and reporting would find opportunities to collaborate within this project. Given the method of open competition, the tender provided a platform for various suppliers to present innovative solutions, potentially enticing diverse businesses looking to expand their portfolio in collaborative and consultative services. For businesses adept at handling areas like speaker management and participant engagement, participating in this project, which supports significant government policy development, could enhance their credibility and visibility in the public sector domain.
