Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust commissioned a research agency to support its Resident Census Research Project. The work centres on the pilot phase: gathering feedback from residents, monitoring the pilot’s performance and advising Peabody using experience of previous census-style research programmes. The project supports Peabody’s strategy to improve understanding of residents, strengthen the completeness of its resident data and provide fair, accessible and equitable services. The service category is research and customer survey services (CPV 73110000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to IFF Research Limited, which signed it on 7 October 2026. The contract runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £59,948 excluding VAT (£71,938 including VAT). Peabody used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract covers the project duration and may be extended, at Peabody’s discretion and subject to budget availability, for Phase Two. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from Peabody for research support that combines resident feedback collection, performance monitoring and expert advice grounded in census-style research. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the research capability to design and deliver resident-facing feedback work, monitor how a pilot performs and translate prior programme experience into practical advice. The requirement is focused on building a clearer, more complete picture of residents and supporting fair, accessible and equitable services, so suppliers should be able to work with those objectives in view. The route used was a limited competition below the threshold; familiarity with competing through a limited process may therefore be relevant when Peabody next buys this specific kind of research service.
