Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited, a public undertaking based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, commissioned a baseline study for QSN. This is a professional services requirement covering research and development services, together with related consultancy and business advisory work. The work is categorised under CPV 73000000 for research, development and related consultancy services and CPV 79000000 for business services, including consulting. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and concerns analytical work intended to establish a baseline for QSN. It would suit organisations providing structured research, evidence gathering, analysis and advisory support for public or technical-sector programmes.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Briscoe Advisory Ltd. It used a below-threshold route described as “unknown”, with one completed lot. The award is active and was made on 9 June 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 9 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category and records Briscoe Advisory Ltd as the successful supplier. The award concerns the full baseline study for QSN. The available outcome information does not set out separate scoring weights or detailed evaluation criteria.

This procurement indicates demand from NPL Management Limited for focused baseline research linked to QSN, delivered through a compact professional services engagement. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine research design, data collection, analysis and clear reporting with practical consultancy skills. Experience of producing defensible baseline evidence for technical, scientific, innovation or public-sector programmes would help establish credibility. Relevant firms should be able to work with a specialist public undertaking, translate complex material into usable findings and provide advice alongside the research. A small or specialist consultancy can be well suited to this type of assignment, provided it can demonstrate dependable project management, analytical quality and the capacity to deliver a complete study within a defined engagement.
