Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership commissioned consultancy to design and run a staff engagement survey, analyse the responses and report the findings. The work is classified under training services, although the stated scope is survey consultancy rather than delivery of staff training. The award relates to work in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public undertaking and is based in London. The requirement covers the survey process from design through administration and analysis to reporting, providing the Partnership with a structured assessment of staff engagement. One lot covered the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Expert Training Systems plc. The Partnership used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2027. Its value is £27,060 excluding VAT (£32,472 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The process had one lot, which is complete. The published procurement information does not state a separate scoring formula or evaluation weighting, so no specific award basis can be reported.

This award demonstrates demand from The Guinness Partnership for end-to-end staff engagement survey consultancy: suppliers need to be able to design an appropriate survey, administer it, analyse the results and produce clear reporting. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need the research and analytical capability to handle the complete cycle, as well as the project management capacity to deliver survey activity and reporting for a large housing partnership. Expert Training Systems plc, the selected supplier, is recorded as a large organisation, illustrating that a substantial provider was successful in this competition. The work is described as consultancy, not simply survey software or training delivery, so firms able to combine survey expertise with meaningful analysis and presentation of findings are the closest fit.
