UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation bought annual Global Leaders benchmarking subscription services from CEM Benchmarking UK Limited. The service covers a Global Leaders survey questionnaire, validation of the resulting data and expert review where needed. It also includes an annual meeting before data collection, progress updates, a standardised management report with benchmarking insights against a curated peer group, an optional virtual presentation and three invitations to the annual Global Leaders Conference. This is a research and market research service, covering benchmarking, survey administration, data quality assurance and insight reporting. Delivery is in the United Kingdom for NEST Corporation, a central government public authority based in London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. It had one lot. CEM Benchmarking UK Limited was selected for the service, with an active contract signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027 and is valued at £27,000 gross, including any applicable taxes. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a direct purchase rather than through a competitive tender. The awarded service is classified under research services and market research services. The contract is below the relevant threshold and covers the single Global Leaders benchmarking subscription requirement for NEST Corporation.

This procurement shows demand from NEST Corporation for specialist benchmarking and research support rather than a general consultancy service. A credible future supplier would need to design or administer structured surveys, validate participant data and provide expert review when results require clarification. It would also need to turn comparative information into a clear management report, using a suitably curated peer group and producing practical benchmarking insights. Relevant delivery capability includes coordinating an annual preparation meeting, providing progress reporting and presenting findings virtually when requested. Experience supporting senior stakeholders through recurring benchmarking programmes would be useful, as would the ability to provide conference participation alongside the core subscription service. Suppliers should be able to deliver consistently across the United Kingdom.
