Summary of the contracting process

Consumer Scotland commissioned survey research services, including market and social research. The requirement is described as a survey research re-let, with detailed scope set out in the procurement requirements. Consumer Scotland is the buying organisation. The published information does not identify a delivery location, so the work cannot be tied to a particular place from these details. The award covers research services rather than goods or construction, and is relevant to firms that design and deliver surveys and can provide research to support Consumer Scotland’s work. Specific research topics, survey methods, respondent groups and deliverables are not described in the summary of the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded. IFF Research Ltd was selected, with an award value of £500,000. The associated contract is recorded as active. No award date or contract start and end dates are provided in the published process information, so the length and timing of the contract cannot be established. The tender is identified as a re-let, but no procedure or procurement method is stated. Two bids were received. The available award information does not break the requirement into lots or set out the eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further. The recorded value is for the award to IFF Research Ltd and is not a total across multiple suppliers or lots.

This award shows that Consumer Scotland purchases survey research at a substantial scale and has selected a specialist research supplier. Firms well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to deliver survey research and demonstrate relevant market or social research capability. The procurement is described as a re-let, indicating that survey research has been commissioned before, although the information does not define the exact research topics, methods, audience or deliverables. A credible competitor would therefore need to show that it can meet the specific requirements when they are set out, as well as manage work at a scale comparable to this award. The process drew two bids, providing an indication of competition for this requirement. No particular accreditation, technical standard or named experience threshold is stated.
