Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington commissioned an external provider to deliver its colleague survey. The work covers setting up and hosting the survey, collecting responses, analysing the data and reporting the findings to support organisational improvement. The service is classified as survey services (CPV 79311000). The survey was planned for the Council’s colleagues, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is an organisational research and employee-feedback requirement rather than a general public survey: the provider’s role extends from survey design and administration through to analysis and reporting for the Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold procurement using a procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was awarded to PEOPLE INSIGHT LIMITED. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 September 2027. Its value is £27,680 excluding VAT (£33,216 including VAT). The planned survey is for October 2026. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when Islington next requires this service, the work demonstrates demand for an end-to-end colleague survey provider: the Council needs a supplier able to configure and host a survey, manage response collection, analyse results and present findings in a form that supports organisational improvement. Credible competitors would need to show they can handle employee survey data reliably and turn responses into clear, useful reporting for a local authority. The incumbent, PEOPLE INSIGHT LIMITED, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier has delivered this requirement. The procurement followed a below-threshold route, so suppliers should be able to compete effectively for a modest, focused survey-services contract rather than assuming a large-scale research programme.
