## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Office of the Victims' Commissioner (OVC) Victim Survey 2026," within the research services category (CPV: 73110000). The awarded contract, valued at £39,150, will take place from 12 March 2026 to 11 June 2026. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was inclusive of delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and beyond. Key dates include the tender period ending on 23 February 2026, with the award being published on 18 March 2026. The contracting authority is the Ministry of Justice located in Leeds.

The tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those focusing on surveys and data analysis tailored to understanding victim and witness experiences within the justice system. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those in the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The awarded contract to TONIC Consultants Limited, an SME in Canterbury, Kent, demonstrates a potential growth avenue for similar small businesses seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts. This project highlights the importance of expertise in delivering comprehensive survey results that can influence national policy and support justice system improvements.

## Notice

The key elements of the Victims' Commissioner role are to raise awareness of the common issues faced by victims and witnesses, monitor how criminal justice and victim support agencies comply with the Victims' Code and Witness Charter, influence national policy and hold partner agencies to account and speak up about what works best for all victims and witnesses. To fulfil this role, we need to have a strong understanding of victims' and witnesses' experiences of the justice system and externally commissioning an organisation to provide a robust and representative sample of survey responses is necessary to do this.
