UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health & Social Care, a central government authority based in London, has completed a procurement process for the provision of services related to the analysis and data supporting an updated report on the changes in food purchasing over a ten-year period. The contract title is "Analysis & Data to Support an Updated Report - 10YP Changes in Food Purchasing" and falls under the industry category of research services. The procurement method used was a direct award, executed below threshold without competition. The process reached the contract award stage on 10th February 2026, covering the period from 1st February to 31st March 2026. The supplier engaged for this contract is Numerator, a large company also based in London, with the contract valued at approximately £72,056 excluding VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with a background in data analysis within the food sector. Companies capable of delivering high-quality research outputs can position themselves favourably for similar direct awards, especially if they can demonstrate expertise that aligns with government standards and requirements. Large enterprises with existing operational capabilities in the UK are well-suited to compete in this space, given the focus on continuity and leveraging past work for ongoing government projects.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Analysis & Data to Support an Updated Report - 10YP Changes in Food Purchasing

Notice Description

Direct award to Worldpanel for existing data. * DHSC's published food purchasing report utilised data and analyses provided by Numerator UK (formerly Kantar Worldpanel) who were commissioned to undertake the work as part of a wider data contract which has now ended. As this work is needed urgently to support key policy measures to be implemented by the Department, we are looking to commission the required update in the current financial year (25/26) through a direct award to Numerator UK. This would build on the existing report, and ensure the same data and analyses are produced to the same high standard.
