Summary of the contracting process

The Rail Safety and Standards Board procured a marketing insights and analytics measurement framework. The requirement covers marketing measurement services: collecting, analysing and interpreting evidence about marketing activity so that performance and impact can be assessed. It is a services contract for the buyer’s marketing measurement needs, rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Rail Safety and Standards Board, a public undertaking based in London. The requirement is relevant to marketing analytics consultancies, market research and insights providers, and firms that design or operate measurement frameworks for organisations with ongoing marketing activity and a need for structured performance analysis.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. Foundry Data Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. Its gross value is £39,528. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The evaluation outcome reflects a non-competitive route rather than a scored competition, so no competing bids or published award criteria are described. This is a relatively short, defined engagement for marketing insights and analytics measurement services, with the supplier responsible for delivering the framework during the stated contract period.

This procurement demonstrates a specific requirement from the Rail Safety and Standards Board for structured marketing insights, analytics and measurement capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that it can design and deliver a practical measurement framework, collect reliable marketing performance data, produce useful analysis and turn findings into clear insight for decision-makers. Relevant experience in marketing measurement, analytics, research methods and reporting would strengthen a supplier’s position. The existing award to a large supplier indicates that the buyer values an established delivery capability able to support the requirement as a defined service. Providers should be able to work with a public undertaking and deliver consistently across the United Kingdom.
