Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured a managed workforce staff survey service, comprising two fully managed surveys during the contract. The work covers survey services and staff development, with delivery in the Wakefield area. The requirement is for an external supplier to manage the survey process rather than simply provide survey software or tools. It gives the council a structured way to gather workforce feedback on two occasions and support staff development. The recorded service classifications also include customer survey services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Viewpoint Feedback Limited. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 27 September 2027. Its gross value is £44,000. The process was a below-threshold procurement; the tender records one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Viewpoint Feedback Limited as the supplier, but does not state a separate award value or describe the evaluation criteria. The procurement description specifies two fully managed workforce surveys over the contract period.

For suppliers considering similar work for Wakefield Council, this award demonstrates demand for an end-to-end staff survey service that can deliver two managed survey exercises within a relatively short contract. A credible competitor would need to organise the survey cycle, administer the process and provide a service aligned with workforce feedback and staff development. Experience with employee surveys and the ability to support a public-sector customer are relevant to this requirement. The award to a specialist survey supplier shows that a smaller provider can compete for this scale of service. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver both survey rounds reliably and manage the practical requirements of engaging a council workforce.
