## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), based in London, commissioned a contract for "Survey and Focus Group Research" services classified under CPV code 73110000. This procurement process, marked as 'complete', involved a selective tender method via a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Research & Insights DPS. The research aims to support the Electoral Resilience and Democratic Engagement Programme in the UK, focusing on electoral reforms like introducing voting for 16- and 17-year-olds. The tender concluded with an award to Deltapoll Limited on 2nd July 2025, with the contract period spanning from 7th July 2025 to 6th July 2027. The contract holds a total value of £10,000,000, and the buyer welcomes engagement with SMEs.

This project represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in research services, particularly those specialising in public policy and electoral systems. The procurement process favoured suppliers within the SME category, making it ideal for small to medium enterprises capable of delivering comprehensive polling services and analytical reports. Participating enterprises could potentially enhance their portfolio and secure longer-term projects with MHCLG beyond this contract period, contributing to democratic engagement initiatives across the UK. Business entities equipped with skills in survey execution and focus group management will find ample opportunities to leverage their strengths and expand their service offerings through such collaborations.

## Notice

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) regularly commissions bespoke polling services with the aim of informing key policy areas. In this particular instance, the department is seeking to commission research relating to the Electoral Resilience and Democratic Engagement Programme (ERDEP) which will introduce votes for 16- and 17-year-olds - referred to throughout as 'Votes at 16' - alongside other electoral reforms. This research includes conducting a survey and focus groups with both attainers who will be able to register to vote ahead of turning 16 (young people aged 14 and 15) and newly enfranchised electors (young people aged 16 and 17) across the United Kingdom. This also includes data analysis and drafting a final report that will be published. In addition to this immediate requirement, the department will seek to develop a longer term arrangement with the Supplier, with the aim of potentially delivering additional projects during the term of the Contract. Additional information: This is a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Research & Insights DPS.
