UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council procured external delivery of its 2026 Residents’ Survey. The requirement covers survey administration, sampling and predominantly push-to-web data collection, with paper questionnaires sent to a targeted proportion of households and supplied on request. The provider is also responsible for processing the responses, applying weighting, analysing the results, reporting and presenting the findings. This is a public-sector social research and survey services requirement, with the classification recorded as business analysis consultancy services (CPV 72221000). The work is for Cheshire East Council and relates to residents across the Cheshire East area. It is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement, and is intended to provide the council with robust evidence about residents’ views and experiences.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. Cheshire East Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. BMG RESEARCH LTD was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its gross value is £76,020. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete. The procurement concerns one overall service package covering the survey’s fieldwork, questionnaire administration, data processing, weighting, analysis, reporting and presentation. No competitive evaluation basis is stated for this direct award.

This requirement shows demand from Cheshire East Council for an end-to-end residents’ survey provider rather than a supplier offering only one research activity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage representative sampling, predominantly online push-to-web collection and targeted paper questionnaires, including additional paper provision where requested. It would also need reliable processes for data capture, cleaning and processing, statistical weighting, analysis and clear presentation of findings to a public authority. Relevant capability therefore spans fieldwork operations, mixed-mode questionnaire delivery, survey methodology, quantitative analysis and public-sector reporting. The scale is suitable for an established specialist research business with enough operational capacity to coordinate household sampling, response handling and the production of decision-ready outputs for the council.
