## Summary

The procurement process titled "GOV.UK Panel - User Research Panel" was initiated by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and pertains to the software package and information systems industry category. The objective was to provide a cloud-based software platform supporting user research and engagement activities for GOV.UK. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had previously ended on 21st April 2026, and the contract period is set from 30th May 2026 to 29th May 2028. The buying organisation is located in London, England, with the postal code of SW1A 2BQ, while the services are to be delivered across multiple regions, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other British territories.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as the service requirement aligns well with businesses specialising in cloud-based software solutions and engagement platforms. As the contract was awarded to Capricorn Ventis Limited (Capventis), a supplier with a registered SME scale operating from Anglesey, businesses with a similar profile could find potential in such government contracts. The project involves the management of user research panels, which is an attractive domain for tech companies focusing on data management and digital engagement tools.
