## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), which is seeking survey services for two rounds of polling related to key communication moments. The industry falls under the category of Survey Services with a CPV code of 79311000. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd. Key dates include the tender period ending on 10th February 2026, with the contract starting on 11th February 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilised is selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement is taking place in the United Kingdom, specifically in England.

This tender offers opportunities for business growth primarily for large-scale service providers within the market research industry. Companies that specialise in delivering comprehensive survey services could significantly benefit from competing in such tenders, as demonstrated by IPSOS being selected as the supplier. Engaging in contracts facilitated by large government departments like DHSC can enhance a business's credibility and provide valuable experience in public sector procurement processes. As the procurement specifically excludes SMEs and VCSEs, it is best suited to sizeable organisations capable of handling substantial commitments and drawing down existing frameworks.
