## Summary

The Home Office procured social research relating to immigration reporting, for delivery in London. The requirement is described as research within immigration reporting; the procurement gives no further breakdown of the research activities or intended outputs. The work is a service rather than a goods or construction contract. This award records a specific research requirement for the Home Office, so it is relevant to market research and social research providers whose work can address immigration reporting and be delivered in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ipsos (market research) Limited on 9 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £222,950. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Home Office used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The original tender deadline was 1 September 2026. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are identified, and no evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates Home Office demand for social research focused on immigration reporting, delivered in London, through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Ipsos was selected, showing that a market research supplier could meet the buyer’s requirements for this assignment. For comparable work, a credible competitor would need relevant social research capability and the capacity to deliver research concerning immigration reporting. The procurement does not describe required methods, specialist accreditations, staffing levels or technical standards, so the evidence for competing is the subject expertise and research provision itself, rather than any specific qualification or delivery model. The recorded contract is a relatively focused, short-term research assignment, making this most pertinent to providers able to undertake targeted public-sector research rather than firms seeking large-scale operational service contracts.
