## Summary

In this procurement process, DESNZ has awarded a contract to the British Geological Survey, a large-scale organisation, for research services. The procurement pertains to the "Research services" category with a total value of £95,744.04. The procurement was executed using a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. This contract spans several regions including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract period starts on 1 November 2024 and ends on 31 March 2025. The award was made on 17 October 2024, as confirmed on 1 November 2024 by the DESNZ, located at 3 Whitehall Place, London, England.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research services, especially those capable of operating internationally. Given that the procurement method was direct and intended for below-threshold contracts, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders. The scope of delivery across multiple regions could foster expansion and growth for businesses looking to enhance their service offerings in research on a global scale. Companies with experience in handling larger contracts for entities similar to the British Geological Survey would find this tender especially promising.
