The process, categorised under social research services, aimed to assess public perceptions of NHS feedback mechanisms. The contract, procured through a limited method due to being below threshold for competition, was awarded to IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd, also based in London. The contract was signed on 15th June 2026 and spans from 15th June 2026 to 15th July 2026, with a value of £14,000. The procurement falls under the award and contract update stage, with relevant documentation published on 29th June 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social research sector, particularly those experienced in conducting large-scale public perception studies. Organisations like IPSOS, with a strong track record in market research, can benefit from such contracts by expanding their portfolio and gaining visibility in the public sector. Businesses adept in public authority engagements and familiar with the NHS's operational context are well-suited to compete, especially in projects that assess institutional feedback mechanisms. This contract underscores the potential for firms specialising in detailed and analytical survey work aimed at improving public services.
