Summary of the contracting process

Glass Futures Ltd commissioned an evidence-led policy research and engagement programme to support the FISC–EIUG campaign. The work is consultancy focused on developing policy evidence and engaging relevant stakeholders, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction. Glass Futures Ltd is the buying organisation, based in St Helens. The programme is intended to support the campaign across the United Kingdom, with delivery locations spanning England. The procurement was classified as research consultancy, development consultancy and general management consultancy services (CPV 73210000). Its scope combines research with engagement, so it is suited to consultancies able to produce robust evidence and use it to inform policy and campaign activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AMION Consulting Limited. Glass Futures Ltd used an open below-threshold competition for one lot. The award was signed into an active contract on 21 October 2026. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 12 January 2027, with a stated period of up to four months. The contract value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The original tender deadline was 9 September 2026, and the deadline for questions was 2 September 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. The single lot was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For future work of this kind, credible competitors will need to combine policy research with stakeholder engagement, producing evidence that can support a defined campaign objective. The award shows that Glass Futures Ltd procures this requirement through an open competition and that an SME consultancy was selected, indicating a scale accessible to specialist consultancies as well as larger firms. Strong candidates would be able to demonstrate relevant research and development consultancy capability, sound analysis, and the ability to turn findings into clear policy-relevant outputs. Engagement expertise matters alongside research delivery: suppliers should be equipped to work with relevant stakeholders across the UK and support the campaign through focused, evidence-led activity. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, so a persuasive delivery approach and demonstrated capability are commercially important alongside competitive cost.
