Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), a central government public authority based in London, has resulted in a completed award for their "Stakeholder survey" project. This project falls under the services industry category, particularly customer survey services, and focuses on assessing stakeholder perceptions of ORR’s reputation and performance against strategic objectives. The procurement was conducted through an open below-threshold competition. A contract with DJS Research Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise situated in Stockport, was signed on 24th October 2025, with the contract period extending to 1st March 2026. The total contract value is £40,200 gross, and it commenced shortly after the tender closed on 19th September 2025.

This tender creates significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium enterprises specialised in survey services and market research. The procurement method allows a wide range of businesses to participate due to its open competition nature, making it accessible for businesses with suitable capabilities. Companies that focus on quality in execution—evidenced by the award criteria of 80% on quality—are well-suited to compete in similar opportunities. With a focus on delivering insights into stakeholder perceptions, businesses with expertise in data analysis, strategic communication, and public sector engagement stand to benefit from securing such contracts.
