This project falls under the services category, specifically involving research services, contributing to significant home ownership policy decisions. The procurement method employed was direct, below the threshold and without competition, resulting in the awarding of the contract to Inferenc Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Cambridge. The process culminated in the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 15th October 2025 to 15th December 2025. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 14th October 2025 and the completion notice published on 17th December 2025.

This process, although direct and completed, underscores the importance of cultivating competitive edge and showcasing detailed analytical skillsets that align with central government objectives.
