Summary of the contracting process

The Trade Remedies Authority, a central government public authority located in Reading, UK, has completed a procurement process for a "Research & Insights" project. This project falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000). The procurement process, which utilised a limited method due to it being below the threshold for open competition, has led to the awarding of a contract worth £40,000, with the gross amount at £48,000, to SAVANTA GROUP LIMITED, based in Glasgow. The award was finalised on 8th December 2025, with the contract period spanning from 5th January 2026 to 31st March 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms involved in research and development services. As SAVANTA GROUP LIMITED was the sole bidder, this suggests that similar businesses could have viable opportunities in future procurement processes of this nature, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the competitive landscape. Businesses specialising in consultancy and insights gathering, particularly those adept at working with central government bodies, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging in projects with the Trade Remedies Authority may offer further opportunities for developing expertise and securing more substantial government contracts.
