Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "RHUL-26069 Procurement of Services to provide Participant Surveys across the world" has been completed by Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public authority classified under sub-central government in the United Kingdom. The tender, which falls under the industry category of Research and Development Services and Related Consultancy Services, was conducted through a limited competition method, aligning with a below-threshold procurement framework. IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd has been awarded the contract, with significant operations based in London. The contract commenced on 16th July 2026 and is set to conclude by 28th February 2027, offering a contract value of £57,600 gross. The process reached its award stage as of 30th July 2026.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in global survey and market research services, particularly those capable of delivering wide-scale, international participant surveys. Given the nature of the procurement method and the size of the awarding organisation, businesses that can offer competitive and comprehensive research services under restricted tender environments could find a good fit in similar future opportunities. The project could serve as a significant portfolio enhancer for large-scale research firms seeking to establish or solidify their presence in the academic sector, with a focus on serving educational institutions like Royal Holloway and Bedford New College.
