## Summary

The National Infrastructure Commission, operating under HM Treasury, has completed a public procurement process titled "Social research for rail needs assessment", aimed at acquiring social research services valued at £55,000. This engagement was designed to deliver quantitative polling to support the Authority's rail needs assessment. The project took place within the services industry, primarily located in the United Kingdom, including jurisdictions like the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The tender period concluded on 11th June 2020, with the contract commencing on 29th June 2020 and running until 28th October 2020.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in social research and data analysis, to expand their client base and demonstrate their capabilities in the public sector. Companies with expertise in quantitative polling and rail transport assessments would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts with the National Infrastructure Commission and other related authorities. The selective procurement method used here indicates that established firms are preferable as suppliers, thus paving the way for strategic partnerships or collaborations for smaller businesses aiming to scale their operations.
