## Summary

The Electoral Commission has concluded an award for a public procurement initiative titled "Youth Research," focusing on providing research and development services within the education and consultancy sector. This contract, valued at £211,715, was awarded to BMG Research Ltd and encompasses a five-year project starting from 30th July 2025 until 29th July 2030. The work involves conducting both quantitative and qualitative research to monitor youth engagement in democracy and voting over time. The procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Headquartered in London, the commission aims for this project to enhance the understanding of trends among young individuals aged 11-25 across England, including areas such as Helsby, Cheshire.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in educational and social research services. As the contracting body is encouraging participation from SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), it offers an avenue for smaller and community-focused businesses to gain substantial government-backed contracts. Companies capable of performing comprehensive research methodologies, including cognitive testing, would be well-suited to contribute effectively to this long-term project. Through active involvement in such government projects, businesses can enhance their profile and experience, potentially leading to further contracts and industry recognition.
