## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), represented by ICS, recently completed the procurement process titled "DESNZ COMMUNICATIONS MARKET RESEARCH". This contract, valued at £3,000,000, is classified under research consultancy services and will facilitate services such as public polling and communications testing across multiple regions including the United Kingdom and Europe. The procurement followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award taking place on 8th September 2025. The contractual obligations for the awarded supplier, Yonder Consulting Limited, a large-scale company located in London, are set to commence on 9th September 2025 and conclude on 9th September 2028.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for large consultancy firms specialising in communications and market research.
