Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport has concluded the procurement process for the "Independent Evaluation Synthesis of the Roads Policing Review," categorised under business services such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The process involves the awarding of a contract to ECM Research Solutions Ltd, located in Nottingham, UK. This contract, effective from 20th April 2026 to 31st July 2026, was established through a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition. The project is based in London, and the procurement stage is complete, with the contract signed on 17th April 2026.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services and independent evaluations, particularly those operating within the realm of law and policing reviews. The absence of competitive bidding favoured ECM Research Solutions Ltd, making it suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that possess niche expertise and can engage directly with central government authorities such as the Department for Transport. Businesses with a focus on providing highly specialised evaluation services are well-suited to target similar opportunities in the future.
